Surface Finish References
for Metal Furniture Components
Choose an appearance. Confirm it on a sample.
Use our real furniture leg and frame photographs to describe the look you want. We agree the material and treatment requirements for your project, then confirm the final appearance on a physical sample.
What to confirm before production
Find your
starting point.
Choose a visual direction to add to your project brief.
Each choice shows a different real product photograph, not a colour simulation of one design. Photos describe appearance; they do not specify the material or treatment for your project.
Use this finish referenceHow do we confirm
your furniture finish?
Colour is only one part of the surface. A useful brief also explains the reflection, texture and areas that remain visible on your finished furniture.
- Reference & appearance
- Share a physical finish sample or photograph. Describe the colour, reflection and texture you are looking for, and identify the product it applies to.
- Visible surfaces
- Mark the faces, edges and connections that remain visible after assembly. Discuss the appearance of these areas when reviewing the sample.
- Material & treatment
- Confirm these specifications for your project. A silver, warm-tone or dark photograph alone does not identify a material grade, coating process or performance rating.
- Physical sample approval
- Review the actual sample against the agreed appearance. Lighting and screens change the way a photograph looks; the photograph is a starting reference.
Before bulk productionAgree the appearance and any acceptance criteria alongside the structure and mounting details. The approved physical sample and confirmed order requirements guide production.
Review the sampling and production process
The work
beneath the reflection.
Surface preparation is part of the manufacturing conversation. Discuss the intended appearance while the structure is being developed, so both can be reviewed together on the sample.
Share any required material, treatment or test criteria with your brief. Their scope is reviewed for the project.

Bring your reference into the conversation. We will discuss how it relates to your design and sample requirements.
