Brass is the warmest material in the Lyssier collection. Golden in appearance, alive in its surface, and made to change over time. Brass develops a patina through touch, air, and use. It darkens, shifts, and can always be polished back to shine again.
Our Brass (CuZn37) is 63% copper and 37% zinc. The ratio has been refined over centuries of precision metalwork: enough copper for warmth and workability, enough zinc for strength. The alloy designation is printed on every certificate of conformity we hold.
Brass is a living material. Fresh from finishing it is bright gold. Within weeks of use the surface begins to react to oxygen, humidity and touch. The colour deepens through amber into warm brown. Frequently handled areas polish themselves naturally; sheltered areas develop a deeper, richer tone. No two pieces end up the same.
The patina is not a flaw. It is the record of where the object has stood and who has touched it. If you prefer the original surface, a few minutes with brass polish returns it to bright gold. Both are valid. The choice is yours.

Stainless Steel is the most reduced material in the Lyssier collection. Clean in appearance, resistant in use, and precise in its presence. Stainless steel does not seek warmth or patina. It stands for clarity, durability, and quiet strength.
The story of stainless steel begins in 1912, when Krupp filed the first patents for rust-resistant chromium steel. More than a century later, the alloy designation is largely unchanged.
We use Stainless Steel (1.4301) as per DIN 17 440: approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, the composition that has proven itself in architecture and precision industry under extreme conditions.
Of more than 100 rust- and acid-resistant alloys classified as stainless steel, 1.4301 is the most widely specified for architectural applications. Its surface resists corrosion, stands up to heavy use without showing dents or scratches and requires minimal maintenance. A self-regenerating passive layer forms continuously at the surface. The material recovers by itself.
On the H64, 1.4301 is uncoated and either tumbled matte or polished to mirror grade No. 8. The surface you receive is the metal itself. No lacquer, no treatment. A decade from now it will look as it does today.
