Printed texture adds visual and tactile quality to the surface. Custom finishes can be based on any one of our finishes or created based on your inspiration.

TransformA strong continued interest in organic pattern, texture and finishes is apparent. This theme is combined with our expertise in mechanically finishing metal to create this series of finishes with a hand crafted look. The organically inspired structures with complex visually dimensional patterns add interesting surface texture. This is in contrast to the super smooth surfaces available. The finishes work well with flowing lines and softer shapes and make for a more human approach.
