Transformative Surfaces
Metals customized by Nature
Transformative materials include materials which will oxidize and develop a natural patina based on changes in humidity, temperature, and climate.
For over 120 years, Zahner has been at the forefront of material surfaces culture for art and architecture. Our experience covers every alloy of metal, intensive research into patination and surface finishes, and exploration into a growing palette of old and new materials.
Our collaborative process involves understanding each project's unique needs. We've found that speaking directly with clients ensures the overall success of material selections that enhance design intent.
Our sample process works a bit differently. Due to the custom nature of our collaborations, we do not send samples for material libraries. Rather, we prefer to work together, reviewing drawings or providing education on material possibilities.
