Planium's Autumn Copper between Architecture and Design

As a Link between Copper, Architecture and Interior Design

Planium treats Copper, the historical metal par excellence, in the three versions: brushed - which is, from a chromatic point of view, the most iridescent and bright - satin or canvas (when the satin finish is double and orthogonal), the color varies slightly and aesthetic level the material gains for refinement, so much so that the advice to use it for interior cladding is a must. With this process, in fact, the red-colored metal takes on the characteristics of a tree bark, adding another "eco" quality to its natural ecological character.

As a Link between Copper, Architecture and Interior Design.

The relationship between Copper and Architecture is particular because, as we know, although this metal is initially resistant to oxidation, its chromatic stages change over time. Which, from an environmental and aesthetic point of view, can even be an advantage, because the green color it takes on over time is special and has its own personality.

It is also the ability of copper to combine with other metals that generates its use in architecture and interior design as a coating or detail: just think of its ability to bind to other metals to form many alloys, the most famous of which are brass and bronze, but more than 400 are believed to be used! Furthermore, what is used for facades has a degree of purity that even exceeds 99%.

Examples of the use of Copper in Architecture bring great names with them: Frank Lloyd Wrights, Michael Graves, even our Renzo Piano (think of the NEMO-Metropolis Science Museum in Amsterdam), the Swedes Marianne Dahlbäck and Goran Mannson, who designed the Vasa Museum, a building of a certain size that also imposes itself on the skyline of the city. The historical use of this metal in architecture also has its own considerable importance (often Copper was also used with its alloys, including Bronze); in Copper we can still see some external details of Kronborg Castle in Denmark, immortalized by Shakespeare's Hamlet; or roofing in Germany of the roof of Hildesheim Cathedral, one of the oldest Episcopal Churches in Germany.

Brushed Copper, the Vibrant Red Note

An exclusive finish for its characteristics that gives warmth to the rooms thanks to a "vibrant", iridescent, even radiant tone ... Planium proposes it, because the charm of its multiple shades makes it ideal for creative scenarios and for excellence sustainable, as it is recyclable to the 100%.

Satin and Canvas: a More Elaborate "Materiality"

The satin finish or the Planium Copper canvas is a further processing stage for this metal: from a chromatic point of view, the iridescent tone now leaves room for different dynamics, where the brightness is filtered in the satin finish or, in the Canvas, they dominate the signature geometries that arise from the game of "weft and warp" ...
