Copper Bar Paperweight
Individually hand-machined from a solid copper bar and finished with a brushed satin texture, this 15 × 15 × 150 mm piece brings quiet precision to your desk. The clean geometry is softened by fine chamfered edges, making it as tactile as it is minimal.
Its long, slender form sits naturally across papers, holding them in place without visual clutter. Beyond a paperweight, it works equally well as a desk bar—an object to align documents, mark pages in an open book, or simply rest your hand on while thinking.
The brushed finish catches light subtly, while the solid metal construction gives it a reassuring, balanced heft.
Designed for desks where order matters—simple, functional, and built to age with character.

Materials & Care
The Nature of Solid Metal Our Series 01 collection utilizes solid copper, brass, and stainless steel. These are "living" materials designed to age with grace.
Maintenance To protect the precision-machined surfaces, we treat every object with a specialist microcrystalline wax. This creates a moisture-resistant barrier that lasts 3–12 months depending on handling.
- Daily Care: Wipe with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or fingerprints.
- Aging: Expect a natural deepening of color over time—copper will shift toward a warm terracotta, while brass takes on a rich, muted gold.
The Living Finish: Even if the natural patina is allowed to develop, it will look gracious and sophisticated. This surface change is purely aesthetic and will not affect the structural longevity or integrity of the solid metal.
Longevity: To stop the patina process and maintain a bright finish, simply re-wax twice a year.
