Patinas Oxidize certain metals, in effect damaging the material to a certain extent.

We took this rigid, standardized material and shaped it into a much more organic form, blending the industrial and biological worlds and creating a lamp with unique elements and character.
Through the use of different chemical ingredients and techniques, we can create several varying finishes, providing a range of different characters within the collection.
