Hand-hammered copper kitchen backsplash. Two penguins facing each other on Arctic ice in raised repoussé relief. Custom size, 15 finishes, made to order by Natuross.

This is a handcrafted copper wall panel, made to your size. 24-gauge copper, hand-hammered on an anvil, wrapped over a rigid backing. The finish is applied and sealed with a clear protective coating — easy to clean, color stays true. Heat and moisture resistant. Ready to install behind the stove, under the range hood, or over the sink.

Two penguins stand on a floating ice floe, heads inclined toward each other. The composition is centered on that moment of closeness — the slight lean inward, the stillness between them. Smooth, elegant contours capture the distinctive penguin silhouette. Fine repoussé detailing defines the beaks, eyes, wings, feet, and contrasting plumage. Calm polar water and distant ice formations extend around them, simple and uncluttered, so the two birds hold the full weight of the panel. Every detail raised from the copper by hand, using chasing and repoussé — a craft practiced for over 5,000 years. Not printed, not stamped, not laser engraved, not cast. A genuine handmade copper backsplash that shifts and glows as the light changes through the day.

Penguins mate for life. They find each other across crowded colonies by voice alone. For a kitchen that belongs to two people — or a home built around family — this panel carries a meaning that goes well beyond wildlife art.

You won’t find this in any store or catalog. Natuross custom copper backsplashes are in kitchens across the US — ordered by homeowners who wanted something lasting and meaningful, and by designers who keep coming back.

Single Panel or Full Kitchen Backsplash

A single copper panel behind the stove is the most common starting point — and a complete look on its own.

The most popular order is a full kitchen backsplash: main panel behind the stove, side panels under the cabinets, coordinated design on a second wall. Send your measurements and we’ll design the full layout. Every panel made to size, all in the same finish.
