Brass and copper

Works in brass and copper

Brass and copper cast a warm glow and develop character over time: they develop a patina, or retain their shine if looked after. We combine them with concrete, wood and mosaic.

  • Laser-cutting of sheet metal and bending of corner pieces.
  • Polishing brass and protecting surfaces.
  • Drawing up of fitting templates and the installation plan.
  • Bonding to concrete, grouting and finishing.
  • Installation of fragments supplied by the artist or by local residents.
