Bronze
The raw long-lasting, hard-wearing Bronze material exposes the distinctive earthy hue, contextualising the minimal process. The bright surface texture oscillates between a vivid metallic gold and deeper ochre tone. Left to oxidise, as it darkens it reveals a lived history and takes on a new form. Care: Bronze products will patina, particularly at points of contact, and can include a variety of tonal changes. Bronze will also naturally darken and may develop verdigris depending on its environment. If there is a desire to restore the product to its original appearance, a light application of metal polish, followed by a beeswax protectant will achieve this. Caution: Bronze products will patina, particularly at points of contact. As the finish is unlacquered, regular application of bee’s wax will be necessary to maintain the finish.

The raw materials selected for Casts will undergo an evolution in their surface texture. While these products will arrive with a vivid finish, exposure to time, touch, and environment will ensure they develop their own distinctive character.
All Casts pieces are supplied with a thin wax coating which protects the original patina. The natural breakdown of this protective wax will accelerate changes in tonality and patination. Finish variation is to be expected and embraced.
