A Philippine School of Interior Design exhibit of sustainable materials last November 2011. The design challenge is geared towards the sustainable use of metal in a bedroom. With copper as the main metal, we created a Boho Glam bedroom. It is a free-spirited, fashionable and eclectic style that fits the personality of an anything-goes person. Indigos and violets are used as the primary color palette and contrasted against the achromatic background – enhancing the copper and producing a glowing sunset ambiance. Copper is a malleable precious orange-reddish metal and is also a heat and electricity conductor. It naturally tarnishes as it ages. Hence, the verdigris finish (a bluish patina formed on copper). Since copper is durable, easily recycled and ages with beauty, the design does not have to be changed over the years because one can always put something new in the room while preserving its look.
