The Color of Copper
TCOC collection designed by Kwangho Lee
The Color of Copper captures this organic transformation, translating the accidental beauty of oxidation into a warm, radiant color palette, meticulously reproduced by expert artisans through a labor-intensive process.
about the collection
Building on his research, the Korean designer developed geometric motifs that reflect the color variations and patterns formed through welding real copper plates. As copper oxidizes, it develops a rich reddish-brown cuprous layer, which gradually transitions into a striking green patina.
Combining threads of Himalayan wool, pure silk and aloe in alternating saturations, they developed a new color system that mirrors the luminous, ever-changing nature of copper’s surface.
