Metal

The metal tag gathers architecture and interior design projects in which metal plays a significant role in shaping the spatial composition and design elements. Steel, aluminium, brass, bronze and other metal alloys are widely used for structures, cladding, display systems, custom furniture and architectural details.

In retail, hospitality, food retail and interior design projects, metal is frequently used to create modular systems, structural frames, shelving units, counters and visual merchandising elements. Thanks to its strength and versatility, metal allows the construction of thin yet durable components capable of defining the geometry and organization of interior spaces.

From an aesthetic perspective, metal surfaces introduce reflections, tonal variations and material contrasts. Finishes such as brushed steel, satin brass, burnished bronze or painted metal allow designers to shape the atmosphere of the interior, ranging from industrial environments to more refined and carefully detailed spaces.

Metal is often combined with wood, stone, glass or ceramic materials, contributing to the development of display systems, architectural structures and custom interior elements that define the identity of the space.

Articles associated with the metal tag document projects in which metal components play a central role in interior architecture, shaping structures, furniture and surfaces in retail, hospitality and contemporary interior environments.
