True Colours Shelves

When an element like copper is found in nature it has a green colour. Iron has an orange / brown  colour when being found inside the earth. Oxidized metal surfaces create colours that provide information about a material. The pallete is a reaction with the base material.

Therefore the coloured surfaces have an organic growth of colour and not every colour is possible on every surface. Colouring metals requires accurate recipes. This project shows the results of a research on metals
and their true colours; a direct relationship between colour, material
and information.

We can make various dimensions and unique pieces upon request.
