A lot of Copper at Millan Design Week

In addition to the impressive Tom Dixon lighting collection there were numerous other designs with this beautiful warm material - in the last years copper becomes more and more popular. It is one of my favorite materials, too - it is soft and cozy, quite unlike metals. And at the same time it can look quite luxurious.

Francesco Rota, according to Domus,
 "admits to having always been quite curious or even passionate about copper as a design material ("It is an expensive but splendid material that is hugely satisfying. I find its warm pinkish colour really innovative", he explains). What fascinates him most, however, is its changing colour, the fact that it this material oxidises and changes its character, colour and appearance. "
