Copper in the Real World<\/p><\/div>\n

I love the fact that copper has been around for thousands of years, and it still fits into our modern world. It makes a statement about design and function, value and style.<\/p>\n

\"Corrugated<\/a>

When we choose to use copper in our furnishings, it represents something about our own character and personality, whether our tastes are contemporary or traditional.<\/p>\n

Copper is able to be shaped & formed into modern abstract designs, or hand formed- rustic creations.<\/p>\n

\"Aged<\/a>

It is durable and recyclable, taking on even more beauty with age.<\/p>\n

Copper fights germs and lasts for ages without corrosion, making it the perfect material for home d\u00e9cor, garden accents, and even structural detail. The University of Phoenix<\/a> is a good example of this.<\/p>\n

We are contemplating an entry in CDA\u2019s<\/a> CHIC<\/strong>-\u201cCopper Home Innovation Challenge<\/i>\u201d. It\u2019s open to everyone. Deciding on a specific copper entry is the hard part.<\/p>\n

\"Thunderbird<\/a>

I love our copper water feature<\/i><\/b>, and the\u00a0copper obelisk<\/i><\/b> is a treasure in the garden. Then there is the Thunderbird\u00a0coffee table<\/em><\/strong> that is the center of our living room. \u00a0Oh dear, this may come down to the deadline of October 15.<\/p>\n

Do you have a special use of this beautiful material in your home? Let us know in the comments below. We\u2019d love to see how you\u2019re living with copper.<\/p>\n
