Copper was mankind's first metal and was used during the stone age over 10,000 years ago. Because it could be hammered, heated, forged and mixed with other metals to form alloys, it became widely used by all great cultures, for many applications including utensils, tools, water pipe and roofing.

Few materials maintain their technical function and shape over long periods of time like copper. As a result of weathering, it creates its own protective layer that - with its patina - only reveals its full design qualities during the aging process. The original coppery sheen of the metal gradually develops into a sequence of warm, brown shades, before the surface acquires its characteristic green.
