The Ocher Yellow of Brass: a Naturalistic Design

One of the inevitable colors for furniture, when we think of the summer season, is yellow..

Often this shade touches the golden tones, if we are talking about a classy furniture and a certain taste, more or less echoing canonical styles with materials and metals in contemporary contexts. Combined with each other, they offer trends that differ from year to year.

Planium offers Brass in three different processes. Through brushing, it maintains the classic character that distinguishes it in its minimal nature. The satin finish allows the metal a yield of greater opacity and allows it to be defined in an intermediate processing stage between the brushing and the canvas, also obtained through a satin finish that is however more marked. The color of the Brass is not always uniform: although it generally has all the characteristics of golden red, it actually has fascinating notes of green. The gold color is in fact obtained by mixing ocher, green and red, while the predominance of green over red stands out due to the fact that the golden hue takes on a “cold” tone.

In detail, we could easily see that by using the Brass Canvas or satin Brass the taste of the furniture in Interior Design changes, since the shade of yellow reached by this color tends to the Ocher. Greater opacity and saturation allow this gradation to be considered among the certainly "warm" colors, to the point of reaching even light brown in some shades. And certainly therefore this furniture will have stronger links with those colors that we naturally consider closest to the elements of the earth or the countryside.

For example, satin Brass can be combined with two other Planium metals with similar characterization: Copper and Oxidized Steel, which reaches a brown tint similar to brown and Cassel Earth.

These hot metals can be combined with each other on a wall or floor with the Ocher of Brass also through cold-tone metals that help create a chromatic contrast: brushed Stainless Steel, the brightest and most suitable for this circumstance, is recommended. Restaurants, Museums, public places, Pubs, Bars, private interior spaces: there is no limit to good taste.

What are the methods to be able to lay this metal texture on the floor, if we want to create a "checkerboard" floor with a prevalence of ocher yellow? Planium has designed dry laying systems for installations: with magnetic coupling, MG01 Magnetic Floor; AP01 Lay Floor with lay-on installation; PL01 Invisible Floor with One-click installation; SM02 Evolution Floor, mechanical with visible angle screws.
