Use & Care
Copper and bronze, crafted in Japan
These pieces are made in Japan, but not from the usual PICUS brass. The coaster is made of shiny copper, while the letter and photo holder and the clip are made of phosphor bronze. Each metal has its own hue and way of aging, so the surface never stays fixed and develops a patina over time. The appearance and texture remain organic, far from a uniform industrial finish. These are simple objects, made to be used every day and age naturally with handling.
THE PICUS EXPERTISE
Copper and bronze, piece by piece
Copper, bronze
The coaster is made of copper, while the letter and photo holder and the clip are made of phosphor bronze. Two metals distinct from the brass used in the rest of the collection.
Made in Japan
Like all PICUS items, these pieces come from Japanese workshops.
A patina that develops on its own
Copper, like phosphor bronze, develops a patina over time. The color on the first day is not the same as in the following months, and each piece changes at its own pace.
An organic appearance
The look and texture remain organic, without a perfectly smooth surface. This is what gives these objects their character.
The tab of the coaster
A small tab sticks out from the copper coaster. A press of the finger on it is enough to grab it without having to search for it flat on the table.
A stand for letters and photos
The phosphor bronze stand keeps a letter, card, or photo clearly visible. It fits perfectly on a desk or a shelf.
