As many of you may have heard, copper is “on trend” at the moment and so today, whether you like to rail against the status quo or not, I invite you to dive deep into the design zeitgeist for a good look at what all the fuss is about. I think you will be glad you did. Above – Georg Jensen Koppel wall clock in copper. Available through Lanna Mobler.

 

 

15 Light by Derek McLeod Design. While the exterior of these stunning pendants are finished in copper, the interior is finished in a matte white for even light diffusion. For purchase inquiries, contact sales@derekmcleod.com.

Copper Tape! Do-it-yourselfers rejoice because the possibilities are endless here. Use it on the front of your shelving, trim out a mirror, add ‘socks’ to your table and chair legs… oh, and did I mention copper tape also keeps slugs and snails away from your plants? How you may ask? By giving the little critters a mild electric shock when they come in contact with it. Fascinating.
