For over thirty years, Da Prà has been producing artistic finishes on metals by combining traditional methods with innovative techniques, in a continuous experimentation and evolution. The combination of creativity, craftsmanship and skill is the essence of each process. We transform iron, brass and copper surfaces into extraordinarily expressive surfaces, with unique chromatisms that cannot be achieved in mass production.
The entire oxidation process can take from 4 to 24 hours or even longer. Those who create are in no hurry: they respect the time of the transformation and know how to capture the soul of each surface. From burnishing to oxidation pushed to its limits, there are many colours available and our portfolio is constantly expanding.
Metals are an extraordinary natural material. Every metal has its own peculiarities, its own soul: it is our task to know and grasp every secret, to work it with mastery. The experience gained over the years enables our craftsmen to awaken the stillness of surfaces and translate them into artistic achievements.
The objects we surround ourselves with speak of us and our relationship with life. The value of a handmade work lies in the choice of raw material, in the combination of different materials, in the finishes. The uniqueness of design is accomplished when the finished object has its own unrepeatable peculiarities.
