Materials Glossary

This page is meant as a reference guide to some of the basic shapes, styles and finishes of metals used in our furniture designs. Please note that these are photographic reproductions of surfaces, and the actual surface may not look exactly like the photos. All of our items are handmade, and so, some variation does occur in the finished products. There are slight irregularities in the natural surface of the steel that we leave in our furniture. We feel that these irregularities are beautiful and only enhance the individual character of each item.

Please feel free to email us with any questions regarding the finishes or metal types you see on this website.
