Rust or Bust
The introduction of Rust!
The oldest new kid on the block… Rust! We have seen the resurgence of Rust in recent months to great effect. Years of chemical reaction is used to create a dark distinctive burnt orangey colour, which is perfect for those ultra-industrial themes. Old warehouses with exposed brickwork could be effective with rust as they create a trendy hipster environment. Whilst it’s quite daring, the interior industry is always looking for something new… and an ultra-rusty industrial venue could be just what’s on the horizon.
Here’s some of the snaps we’ve taken recently which show this fantastic look…
Metal is still going strong
The use of metals in interior design has increased in recent years, with brass, copper, zinc and steel being the most popular choices. We at UHS offer a great range of metal table tops including:
• Queenstown Table Top – a round or square copper table top, which can come with a dark or light patina, as well as a distressed aged look.
• Seattle Table Top – a Zinc top with a distressed age finish with rivets. Available in bespoke sizes, round or square.
• Alberta Table Top – a square or brass or round spun brass top with a brushed finish. Available in a light or dark patina giving it an aged look.
We also used metal detail on other furniture products to create a truly unique design. A prime example of this is the Jupiter Bar stool, which features brass socks and foot rest… something we like to call “posh industrial”. Have a go a configuring your own Jupiter bar stool today
