Idea → Material
A quiet kitchen, shaped around one luminous decision. MetaliQ brings real brass into the room as a continuous surface, warm in tone, calm in reflection, more architectural plane than hardware.
Process → Effect
The finish is built as a controlled metal skin over MDF, then refined to a polished clarity that stays consistent from plane to radius. A protective topcoat supports routine cleaning in a high touch zone and helps reduce sensitivity to day to day contact.
Kitchen fronts and a curved island were finished as a single, aligned composition using MetaliQ. The scope focused on continuous planes and a clean radius transition, with MDF used as the base substrate where applicable. The intent was to make brass read as architecture rather than hardware, with a polished surface that stays measured in daylight. A protective topcoat was included for a high touch kitchen environment and routine cleaning requirements.
This project depends on discipline more than decoration: seam control, radius continuity, and reflection management across a large, repetitive field. The brass is allowed to stay luminous, but never loud, so the room remains quiet even when the surface catches movement and daylight.
For fabrication, the advantage is buildability at scale. The metal reads continuous across multiple components while the polish level remains consistent panel to panel, helping designers and makers hold a single intent from sample approval through installation.
