always be something romantic about products made purely by the hand of a highly skilled craftsman and the versatile and malleable prop- erties of copper lends it perfectly to the bespoke, artisan community. With the wonder of modern finishing techniques combined with the traditional arti- san skills, the diverse aesthetics of copper can be skillfully crafted to produce creative and inspired bath finishes that will suit almost any style of self-build and interior. Gleaming pol- ished finishes imbue rooms with a sense of glamour and warmth while rich natural patinas and vibrant verdigris promise history, nostalgia and narrative in one pure piece of living colour that continues to evolve and develop in tune with the environment. The growing trend for reflecting the natural


world in our man-made interiors and choosing craftsmanship over mass production is key to this dynamic shift in the relationship between luxury, the environment and the way we live; heralding a desire for a newly defined sense of quality rooted in aesthetic and experiential luxury and a deeper emotive connection to our environments. Natural materials including marble, rich tim-


bers, stone and copper are all here to stay, and are indicative of a movement that doesn’t aim to make luxury and sustainability co-exist, but to make them one and the same thing.
