Verdigris harnesses the naturally occurring process of oxidisation, reproduced by hand for a distinctive finish. We start with bronze and apply a solution which expedites the colouration typically brought on by exposure to the elements. A blue-green hue emerges, producing a beautifully mottled yet balanced effect across the surface. There’s a smooth and slightly milky quality to the finish which brings levity to weighty bronze forms.
A selection of our designs can be made in bronze or brass, as opposed to our standard steel. These options create the opportunity to produce distinctive patinas that breathe a deeper sense of history and character into our furniture designs. We're able to reproduce the natural effects of time using different elixirs paired with heat. Each patina is applied individually, imbuing a truly bespoke feel. The final step is sealing the surface with a layer of wax to halt oxidisation and preserve the perfectly balanced patina.
