A beautiful and more cost effective option for those wanting brass furniture without the price and heavy weight. All our brass plated products are electroplated and then coated in a protective wax coating. Raw brass will oxidise over time which causes the colour to change drastically and can cause corrosion. The drastic colour change is known as patina and can be the desired effect in some circumstances as it is a unique and extremely interesting finish. Avoid sharp and heavy objects on plated surfaces because the finish can be susceptible to scratching.
This finish can be available glossy, satin or with a texture depending on the desired look. Powder coating is a consistent coloured finishing option that is hard-wearing, durable and upon request can be suitable for outdoor use. A textured black powder coat in particular is good at hiding any wear and tear from regular use. Avoid sharp and heavy objects on powder coated surfaces because the finish can be susceptible to scratching.

Established in 2016, Proxima Furniture has been designing and crafting high quality furniture with our multi-disciplinary team proficient across many mediums. All Melbourne made, our pieces are designed in Collingwood and made in our Coburg workshop.
Creating with the intent of being honest to the materials used, Proxima's pieces expose the natural textures and beauty of their timber or steel makes. We predominantly work with American hardwoods; white oak, white ash and walnut, allowing the natural timber grain to emerge even from painted surfaces.
Combining traditional with contemporary furniture making techniques, the hand of the maker is present in all pieces whilst also boasting the precise lines and balanced shapes that can be achieved using contemporary modes of making.
In addition to their made to order collection, Proxima Furniture has many years of experience creating custom furniture for both residential and commercial clients, including on large scale jobs.
