Brass: Oxidized Dark Gold

A set of brass details. Doorknobs, cabinet corner protectors and handles, lamp bases, desk stationery, and small vessels are all made of brass; the surface has oxidized to a dark gold with a brownish tint, deeper in the recesses, and polished bright on the raised parts from touch. It is the only metal in the entire space, and all areas are small. There is no stainless steel or chrome plating. Avoid: using shiny electroplated brass, mixing multiple metal colors, making brass into large panels, using modern matte black and stainless steel hardware.

一組黃銅的細節。門把、櫃體的護角與提把、燈具的底座、桌上的文具與小器皿都是黃銅的;表面已經氧化成暗金帶褐,凹處更深,凸起被手摸得發亮。它是整個空間唯一的金屬,面積都很小。沒有任何不鏽鋼與鍍鉻。避免:使用亮面電鍍的黃銅、混用多種金屬色、把黃銅做成大面積的板材、使用現代的霧黑與不鏽鋼五金。
