Entry Description

This metal building materials were created using a burning process.
Through repeated experiments, it is transformed into beautiful metals. By tinkering with copper, new expressions can be brought out and the possibilities of the metal expanded.

When heat is applied to copper, it changes into various colors. The colors that emerge change depending on the craftsman's special burning method and special conditions. In particular, the rainbow colors are extremely beautiful, and complex colors and patterns emerge.

The new expressions of iridescent copper will add elegance to a variety of spaces.
