Warm metallics have started to look good again. Gold is leading the way. Its myriad textures and finishes are gold metallic from tinted-neutral looks to emerging brassy yellow casts. Meanwhile, copper is making a play for home-décor attention. Well behind gold for volume, copper is nevertheless creating a niche following. Best approach: polished copper. Here are a few examples from the recent ICFF show in New York:
- Lacoli McAlister’s polished-copper fixture
- Epoxy-encased copper in Wud’s new bench
- Materiality Folded from Cooperativa Panoramica
- Copper-top table from Bensen
