living finishes
A glorious range of living finishes that add depth and warmth to every room. With no coating applied, these finishes will oxidise and age gracefully over time, morphing into the environment. It is natural to see variation all over the surface which will darken or lighten where frequently touched. With an occasional use of a nonabrasive wax, our living finishes can provide years of timeless beauty.
Antique Brass Medium (ABM)
A darkened, handmade living finish showing golden brass undertones when new. Antique Brass Medium ages gracefully over time to enhance its provincial, unrefined character. Striking when featured in authentic, classic designs and applied to Bella, Cilla or Giulietta door handles and brings a rustic touch to contemporary designs with Cubo, Quad or Kali door handles.
Oil Rubbed Bronze (ORB)
A dark, handmade living finish offering a rich, old-world look with tones varying from deep, chocolate brown to dark grey which may change depending on differing climatic exposure. Oil Rubbed Bronze gives a truly ornamental look to traditional or contemporary Neo classic design themes and is a popular, versatile finish that can be applied to brass-based architectural hardware in any design environment.
Florentine Bronze Medium (FBM)

Florentine Bronze Dark (FBD)
A blackened, handmade living finish with a rawer appearance compared to Florentine Bronze Medium and minimal blackened bronze highlights when new. Florentine Bronze Dark ages gracefully over time to give a raw, unpolished appearance.

concrete
Raw, primal and polarising. We've paired concrete with our metal finishes, so one touch delivers both: the rough, urban texture of concrete under part of your hand, and the cool, smooth weight of metal under the rest. A contrast of rugged and refined.

The finished concrete’s appearance will always have aesthetic variations of shade, colour, pattern and overall size. One standard finish is available at present, which we call Luna Grey. Custom finishes are also available upon request.
