Copper





LE CUIVRE
After a few years of antiqued bronze this and bronze that, shiny bright reddish copper has been springing up in the world of fashion but also in all kinds of  decorative home accessories. The warmer shade of gold marries well with warm spicy colors but is even more spectacular with grays and jewel tones.

the ubiquitous artichoke lamp translated this time into rich copper.

 Tom Dixon's Copper Shade lamp. I just used this fixture in a pale gray kitchen over the breakfast table; stunning.

like an army in a neat row over a long line of tables

a sculptural wash basin in hammered copper. the perfect raw look to go with a rough stone wall and dark hardware


for the color coordination lovers, a total array to choose from


of course, Murano does metal dust inclusions like no one else. This bowl is  simply extraordinary.

  1. Hmmmm...not every one can work "metal dust inclusions" into a conversation! I love all of the examples of copper.

  2. You are right, the term is somewhat complicated but I think it really says what it means. Thanks for your constant and kind support Theresa.
