Bankside Yards
THE CHALLENGE
To achieve a blackened steel finish on a fully fabricated large feature reception desk which should exude elegance and sophistication, complementing the overall design of the reception area, and creating a lasting impression on visitors. The finish should be resistant to scratches, stains, and general wear and tear, whilst maintaining its appearance even with regular use.
THE SOLUTION
Bradleys rose to the challenge and used Burnished Steel from its SteelAge Range that met the aesthetic, durability, and functionality requirements of the reception desk.
The chemical blackened-effect desk turned out to be a superb asset to the reception area. It’s durability and functionality ensure that it serves as a practical workspace while making a lasting impression on visitors. SteelAge is a significantly more controllable alternative to chemical blackening providing a durable and robust finish.
