Metal with an aged finish

A decorative coating technology for furniture and interiors: an aged-metal appearance with shade, depth and character tailored to each project. Steel, graphite, gold, copper and thousands of intermediate variations.

When a metallic appearance is needed

Real metal remains a distinct interior material with its own advantages. Decorative coatings offer another route: a metallic appearance on familiar furniture and interior substrates without restricting the construction method.

Metal-sheet fronts require cutting, bending, corner welding, dressing and bonding to the furniture base. Coatings retain the familiar construction and create a metallic character through finishing.

Bring a metallic appearance to the parts of the project that need it, while retaining the furniture construction.

  • Lighter construction: less added weight on fronts and doors.
  • Familiar production: no need to turn a furniture workshop into a metalworking facility.
  • Design freedom: the shape need not follow sheet-metal processing constraints.

Five base colours — thousands of shades

Five metallic directions are a starting point. They can produce thousands of variations in warmth, saturation, depth, ageing and overall appearance for each interior.

Designers select the metallic shade the interior needs. Intermediate tones can be matched to a sample, stone, wood, fabric or architectural lighting.

One technology — different objects

Large surfaces reveal transitions in shade and make the finish feel deeper and more complex than a uniform metallic paint.

Kitchen fronts and islands

Kitchen fronts and islands

Large fronts, islands and built-in furniture are especially expressive. Metal reads as an interior material, rather than only a colour.

Wall panels and doors

Wall panels and doors

The metallic motif can continue from furniture to doors, wall panels and built-in architectural elements.

Reception and public spaces

Reception and public spaces

Reception desks, bars and entrance areas gain a coherent architectural character without making the entire object from sheet metal.

Retail fixtures and displays

Retail fixtures and displays

Display cases, island modules, platforms and display structures can share one metallic language.

Metal without metal

When a project calls for a metallic appearance, a multilayer finishing system can create it on prepared substrates.

Manufacturers retain a familiar construction while the finish creates the metallic appearance. This works well for bespoke furniture, small runs and projects with changing dimensions and geometry.

Metal without metal

A shade is chosen in context

Metallic surfaces work best alongside other materials. We consider flooring, stone, wood, glass, textiles, plants and light, then tune the metal to that composition.

Cool steel

Cool steel

Light stone, natural oak, plants, warm light.

Champagne / gold

Champagne / gold

Travertine, light wood, cream textiles, glass.

Graphite / lead

Graphite / lead

Walnut, white stone, coloured accents, soft light.

One effect on different materials

The system can be adapted to different prepared substrates, connecting furniture, panels and individual interior elements through one metallic appearance.

MDF

Fronts, islands, doors, wall panels and cabinet elements.

Plastic

Prepared decorative and functional elements.

Glass

Interior components and surfaces with an appropriately selected system.

Metal

Prepared metal substrates that need the same decorative effect as the rest of the project.

How the system works

The working cycle is tailored to the substrate, selected shade, sample and production equipment. The article explains the visual idea rather than specifying a production recipe.

We select preparation, colour base, metallic layer, ageing character and protective finish. After sample approval, a technologist adapts the system to the client’s production.
