The Copper Argument for the Loft
Copper is the industrial material that has been reclaimed by the residential world — the metal of the factory, the foundry, the distillery, the industrial building that has become the material of the contemporary home.
In the loft, copper has three specific arguments:
The contrast argument. The loft is defined by its raw materials — the exposed brick, the concrete, the steel. Copper is the warm material that contrasts most powerfully with this rawness. The copper panel against the exposed brick — the warm metal against the raw clay. The copper panel against the concrete column — the crafted surface against the industrial structure. The copper panel against the steel beam — the warm metal against the cold metal. These are the material combinations that define the contemporary loft aesthetic.
The authenticity argument. Copper is an industrial material — the metal of the factory and the foundry. In a loft that was once a factory or a warehouse, copper is not a decorative addition. It is a material that belongs in the space — the metal that was always part of the industrial building, returned to the space in a new form.
The warmth argument. The loft can feel cold — the high ceiling, the concrete floor, the industrial materials. Copper is the warmest material in the catalog — and in a loft, the warmth of copper makes the most dramatic difference of any room in the home. The copper panel that makes the industrial space feel as warm as a home.
Feature Wall Ideas
Loft Feature Wall Panel The copper panel on the primary wall of the loft — the surface that defines the character of the entire open space.
The loft feature wall in copper is the installation that makes the industrial space feel as considered as a designed home. A large-format abstract composition — pure form, pure texture — rendered in deep copper relief, the loft as a room with a point of view. A geometric composition — the grid, the diamond, the industrial pattern — the language of the industrial aesthetic rendered in copper. A botanical composition — the tree, the branch, the leaf — the natural world in the industrial space, the contrast of the organic and the industrial. An urban composition — the city skyline, the map, the urban landscape — the loft as a room in the city rendered in copper. The loft name in bold copper letterforms — the space named and permanent. A simple hammered texture in a rich finish — the copper speaking through the material alone, the loft as a warm, considered surface that makes the industrial space feel as designed as the architecture it celebrates.
Full Loft Feature Wall A copper panel covering the entire feature wall of the loft — from floor to ceiling, from wall to wall. The most architecturally ambitious loft installation available.
A single unified composition across the full wall — the loft's complete architectural statement. A large-format abstract composition at full scale — the copper at the scale of the loft wall, the industrial space as a room inside the composition. A geometric composition at full scale — the pattern filling the entire wall, the loft as a room inside the geometry.
Exposed Brick Feature Panel A copper panel mounted on the exposed brick wall of the loft — the most loft-specific material combination in the catalog.
The exposed brick feature panel is the most loft-specific copper installation available. The copper against the exposed brick — the warm metal against the raw clay, the crafted surface against the industrial material. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish — the copper speaking through the material alone, the contrast between the copper and the brick the entire design statement. An abstract composition in shallow relief — the copper as a work of art against the brick. A geometric composition — the industrial pattern in copper against the industrial material of the brick.
Concrete Wall Feature Panel A copper panel mounted on the raw concrete wall of the loft — the copper against the concrete, the warm metal against the industrial structure.
The concrete wall feature panel is the most industrially specific loft installation. The copper against the raw concrete — the warm metal against the cool industrial surface. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish — the contrast between the copper and the concrete the entire design statement.
Mezzanine Ideas

The mezzanine feature wall panel makes the upper level of the loft feel as considered as the ground floor. The copper on the mezzanine wall — warm, considered, precise. A geometric composition — the industrial pattern in copper on the mezzanine wall. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish. The loft name in copper letterforms on the mezzanine wall.
Mezzanine Balustrade Back Panel A copper panel on the wall behind the mezzanine balustrade — the surface visible through the balustrade from the ground floor, the surface that defines the character of the upper level from below.
The mezzanine balustrade back panel makes the upper level feel as considered as the ground floor. The copper visible through the balustrade — warm, considered, precise. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish. A geometric composition in shallow relief.

The loft kitchen backsplash in copper is the installation that makes the open-plan kitchen feel as considered as a designed kitchen. A large-format geometric composition — the industrial pattern in copper behind the kitchen, the language of the loft aesthetic in the kitchen zone. A botanical composition — the natural world behind the kitchen, the contrast of the organic and the industrial. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish — the copper speaking through the material alone, the kitchen backsplash as a warm, considered surface that makes the open-plan kitchen feel as designed as the rest of the loft.
Full Kitchen Wall Panel A copper panel covering the entire kitchen wall in the open-plan loft — from countertop to ceiling, from wall to wall.
A single unified composition across the full kitchen wall — the kitchen zone's complete design statement. A large-format geometric composition — the industrial pattern at full scale behind the kitchen.

"The abstract panel on the exposed brick wall changed the entire loft. The copper against the brick — the warm metal against the raw clay — is the most considered material combination I have ever seen in a residential space. The loft went from an industrial space with furniture in it to a designed home. The copper is what made the difference." — Natuross customer
