FINISH SHOWCASE: COPPER
At ASH Door Furniture, we celebrate the natural elegance and versatility of copper, offering a selection of exquisite finishes, including satin, polished, antique, weathered, and hammered. Coveted for both its aesthetic and functional qualities, copper is a material that not only enhances interiors but also evolves beautifully over time, making it a distinctive choice for luxury door furniture.
One of copper’s most remarkable attributes is its natural antimicrobial property. Proven to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria within two hours of contact, it is an excellent choice for high-touch surfaces in healthcare settings, public buildings, and private residences where hygiene is a priority. Beyond its practical benefits, copper possesses a unique evolution. Unlike static materials, it develops a rich patina over time, transitioning from its initial warm, reddish glow to deeper browns before settling into the distinctive blue-green verdigris. This organic transformation is often sought after by architects and designers who appreciate the material’s ability to tell a story through its changing surface.
Though naturally a soft metal, copper remains durable and resilient when used in door handles and fittings. Its corrosion resistance further enhances its longevity; as it ages, the patina acts as a protective layer, preventing further deterioration and ensuring that copper installations stand the test of time, particularly in interior applications.
Copper’s malleability is another advantage, allowing for intricate detailing and sculptural forms that other metals may not accommodate as easily. This flexibility grants designers greater creative freedom, resulting in handles and fixtures that feel as tactile as they are visually striking. Beyond its beauty and functionality, copper is also a sustainable choice. It is 100% recyclable without any loss of quality, making it an environmentally responsible material that aligns with modern eco-conscious design principles.
At ASH Door Furniture, we take pride in offering copper finishes that are both timeless and forward-thinking. Whether chosen for its inherent antimicrobial properties, or its artisanal craftsmanship, copper remains an enduring symbol of refined luxury and thoughtful design.
