Material World:
Metal, Marble, Wood & More

Design goes well beyond visual aesthetics. In fact, some might argue that the most important element behind any great product is the material itself. In a world of mass-produced plastic and particle board, textures like hand-blown glass, sculpted ceramics, hammered metal and woven rattan carry a thoughtful, artisanal quality, warming up any interior with that extra human touch. Transform the textural landscape of your next project with a more diverse palette.

Metal

Just about every fixture today has a little metal in it, but some just have that extra rockstar quality. Matte black and brass, vintage gold, hammered bronze and polished chrome - metals can look luxe and glamorous or worn and industrial. Whatever vibe you're going for, we forged a list of the best.
