Brass. The warmth of contemporary luxury
Brass is the metal of timeless elegance. Its golden tone, warm reflections and ability to change character depending on the finish make it one of the most requested materials in contemporary luxury interior design. The colour of brass lends itself to different readings: luminous and precious in its polished version, deep and sophisticated in the burnished variant, soft and discreet in the brushed one. Our brass finishing includes burnishing, brushing, oxidation, polishing and painting. Burnished brass, with its dark tones and chromatic depth, is among the most requested finishes for tables, lamps, handles, cladding and high-end furnishing accessories. The burnished and brushed version adds a directional texture that dampens reflections and increases the materiality of the surface. For projects requiring maximum luminosity, the polished finish reflects the environment and dialogues with light in a scenic way. Burnished brass finishes, colour variants and furnishing treatments are among our most established specialities, requested by interior designers and architects seeking a technical partner capable of translating an aesthetic vision into a finished and installed piece.
Iron. Strength, materiality, visual character
Iron carries with it an aesthetic that no other metal can imitate: essential, dense, capable of becoming sculpture. Oxidized iron, burnished iron, painted iron: every surface treatment applied to iron generates a visually distinct result, with a range of tones spanning from deep black to warm brown, from industrial grey to the most precious burnished finish. Iron finishing at Metalbril expresses itself in load-bearing structures, wall cladding, tables, internal staircases, doors, partition screens and furnishing accessories where the visual weight of the material is an integral part of the project. Burnishing, painting, oxidation and anti-corrosion treatments allow its final appearance to be controlled with artisanal precision, while maintaining the technical performance required by the installation context, whether residential, hospitality or contract. Oxidized metal is experiencing a moment of great interest in interior architecture: oxidized iron is increasingly the protagonist of projects seeking an authentic, materic aesthetic, far from polished perfection.
Stainless steel. Precision, purity, durability over time
When a project requires durability over time without sacrificing aesthetics, stainless steel is the answer. Metalbril’s stainless steel finishing includes satin finishing, brushing, mirror polishing and customised surface treatments for every specific application. The finish can be satin, brushed, polished or worked with more experimental effects such as burnishing or PVD treatment. The finishes we produce on stainless steel adapt to the most demanding environments: from hotel contract to luxury private residences, from showrooms to large-scale architectural cladding. Every element is the result of a production process certified EN 1090, which guarantees regulatory compliance on every structural and decorative component. Stainless steel finishing requires specific expertise: passivation, pickling and progressive polishing are stages that only a well-equipped laboratory with skilled craftspeople can execute at the quality level required by the luxury market.
Aluminium. Lightness, versatility, possibilities on a large scale
Aluminium allows you to think big without weighing down the project. Thanks to its low weight and extraordinary ductility, aluminium finishing lends itself to large-format surfaces, architectural cladding, suspended ceilings and complex structures requiring geometric precision and visual continuity over significant areas. It is the ideal material for contract projects where the scale is ambitious and detail cannot be sacrificed. Finishes on aluminium, from satin finishing to painting, from brushing to materic effect treatments, guarantee high-end results even on large-scale elements. Surface treatments applied to aluminium allow for customised colours, durable protection and surfaces ready for installation in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Copper. Oxidation, warmth, organic uniqueness
Copper is the living metal par excellence: it changes over time, oxidizes, narrates the passing of seasons and light. Copper finishing at Metalbril harnesses this mutable nature to create surfaces with warm reflections and unique tones. Oxidized copper, with its veining reminiscent of verdigris, generates a materic and precious effect impossible to replicate artificially. The polished version brings a warm and immediate luminosity of unmistakable character to projects. Controlled oxidized finishing is among the most requested treatments for wall cladding, lamps, vases and furnishing accessories seeking an organic aesthetic, far from industrial perfection. Copper oxidation can be left to progress naturally, with a final transparent protection, or stopped at a precise moment in the process to obtain the desired tone. Copper in its variants is increasingly present in luxury interior design projects seeking warmth, uniqueness and a materiality that is difficult to achieve with other materials.
Metal treatment. From raw matter to finished surface
Metal finishing does not end with the choice of material. Every surface we produce passes through a series of precise and documented treatments, carried out entirely within our laboratory with direct control over every phase of the process. The surface treatment we apply varies depending on the material, the desired finish and the installation context. The surface finishes we offer, burnishing, polishing, satin finishing, oxidation, painting, brushing, are not standardised products: they are the result of a dialogue between our technical expertise and the specific requirements of the project. All treatments we carry out comply with European quality standards, are documented and verifiable. Metalbril is certified EN 1090 for steel and aluminium structures and AID for internal staircases, concrete guarantees for those designing high-level spaces who cannot afford compromises on execution quality.
Metal finishing for furnishings and interior design. From project to installation
The finishes we produce do not remain in the laboratory. They become tables, staircases, wall cladding, doors, vases, chandeliers, partition screens, shelving and furnishing accessories that inhabit the most exclusive spaces: luxury showrooms, high-end hotels, private residences, yachts, automotive spaces and contract architecture on an international scale. Our metal finishing for furnishings is a complete process: it begins with design using 3D rendering, continues with production in the laboratory and concludes with delivery and on-site installation. A single point of contact for the entire journey, from material selection to final installation, which simplifies the work of interior designers, architects and general contractors and guarantees coherence between the design vision and the final result. The artistic metal finishing we practise has its roots in a manufacturing tradition begun in 1979, elevated over the years to industrial standard without losing the artisanal care that distinguishes it. Every piece is unique. Every surface tells a choice.
