Materica POLISHED ZINC Metallization with zinc

The Polished Zinc finish manifests itself as an intriguing blend of contemporary and timeless elegance.‎ Its metallic glow lends a modern touch, while its inherent elegance underlines its classic sophistication.‎ The shine, a sign of exemplary craftsmanship, makes it resemble a mirror that reflects the nuances.‎ The Polished Zinc finish therefore presents itself as a vibrant and sophisticated design and style statement.‎ It all stems from a simple and enlightening intuition: take a technique born as an anti-corrosive treatment and revolutionise it, exploiting its aesthetic potential to breathe new life into a surface.‎ If the characteristics and geometries of an object allow it, metallisation succeeds in creating something truly special: a new 'skin', a precious envelope that makes metallic what is not metallic, enhancing the plastic and sculptural dimension of a material.‎ The gesture is as powerful as it is surgical: an electric arc gun melts wires of pure metal - copper, bronze, brass, zinc, nickel silver - and the particles are projected violently onto the surface.‎ Whether wood, glass, brick, marble, resin-coated polystyrene or fabric, the metamorphosis is sudden, definitive, enhancing.‎ Like the birth of a new identity.‎ Further info from manufacturer on POLISHED ZINC Materica
