Embracing Slow Living and Quiet Luxury in the Home with Amber Brass Fittings

Embracing Slow Living and Quiet Luxury with Amber Brass Fittings

At Samuel Heath, we embrace both slow living and quiet luxury with our emphasis on crafting timeless and enduring investment pieces made from the finest sustainable materials.

Creating a home with soul is quintessential to meaningful interior design. ‘When design is personalised, it’s timeless. Interiors are about your story, how you live, and what you love,’ advised interior designer and TV presenter Jeremiah Brent, in a recent Vogue article, championing the principles of both slow living and quiet luxury.

These two interior movements help elevate our homes into sanctuaries, with the emphasis on well-being beginning at home, especially after recent years. Slow living gives rise to carefully curated interiors that include meaningful pieces to be treasured, the use of sustainable, natural materials and fabrics, considered colour palettes and the effective blend of old and new where antique and vintage pieces inject individuality. Intrinsic to quiet luxury, meanwhile, is simplicity and understated elegance, and implementation of high-quality materials and craftsmanship, in addition to a timeless aesthetic.

At Samuel Heath, we embrace both slow living and quiet luxury with our emphasis on crafting timeless and enduring investment pieces made from the finest sustainable materials. The classic shapes and silhouettes, and choice of living, plated and lacquered finishes, allows for a more personal approach to choosing timeless brassware.

Because our brassware is made from the finest brass in Europe and crafted by master craftsmen, the fittings are the ultimate in quality and tap into the trend for quiet luxury where skilled craftsmanship is highly esteemed.

In answer to slow living’s emphasis on injecting nostalgic personality with antique and vintage pieces, and the allure of warm and aged brass finishes, Samuel Heath has introduced Amber Brass, a new specialist brassware finish available across all key Samuel Heath brassware collections, including One Hundred Collection, LMK LMK Industrial, LMK LMK Pure, Style Moderne, Fairfield and Forme.

Amber Brass has been specially designed to reflect an aged appearance with a hue that is redolent of amber. The rich burnished brass tone provides an immediate weathered look reminiscent of a bygone era, without having to wait for the natural brass patina to develop.

This new addition to our choice of pre-aged brass options answers the growing demand for warm, antique-style details. Amber Brass is carefully crafted during an artisanal process that ensures the polished finish has a gloss lacquer applied. The resplendent lustre elicited reflects light beautifully and instils a further dimension of opulent rich and warm tones while evoking a luminous aesthetic. High-gloss lacquered finishes are increasingly en vogue in glamorous interior design, particularly in contemporary settings, and this evocative finish oozes vintage sophistication. Our artisan craftsmanship and the superlative quality of the brassware means interior designers can rest assured that the exquisite pre-aged patina effect will maintain its appearance over time.

Brass finishes with a sense of heritage are perfect for injecting a unique and personal touch to both traditional and contemporary schemes. Amber Brass’s specialist finish is achieved by the artisan process of layering and blending surfaces to result in a richly saturated tonal effect.
