When Metal Becomes a Design Medium
Artful Metals by ATI redefines what metal surfacing can achieve in today’s contemporary interiors. Far beyond traditional sheet metal, this collection introduces a new vocabulary of patinas, textures, and color-washes — all crafted to bring emotion, depth, and character to architectural spaces. Whether you’re specifying finishes for a boutique hotel bar, designing the ambiance of an upscale restaurant, or curating a modern retail environment, Artful Metals delivers a rare combination of beauty, practicality, and creative flexibility.
Pattern: Funky Cold Patina
Each pattern in the collection is designed to offer the warmth and artistry of hand-finished metalwork, while maintaining the durability and consistency needed for commercial applications. The result is a spec-grade surface that performs under pressure yet feels bespoke — ideal for wall panels, bar fronts, millwork accents, divider systems, and custom feature moments that require both impact and long-term resilience.
Pattern: Funky Cold Patina
With its breadth of expressive patinas, oxidized metallic tones, brushed mineral layers, and richly layered color fields, Artful Metals gives designers a toolset for shaping atmosphere, storytelling, and identity within a space. It’s the rare material that can stand alone as a focal point or harmonize effortlessly with stone, wood, textiles, and biophilic elements — making it an indispensable surface solution for the modern designer.

Why Metals Make Sense
1. Affordability Without Sacrifice
Artful metals offer a high-end look at a fraction of the price of natural stone or custom millwork. With panelized systems, designers can cover large wall areas quickly while controlling costs.
2. Lightweight and Flexible
Compared to stone, metals are lighter, easier to ship, and simpler to install. This makes them ideal for retrofits and projects with tight timelines.
3. Versatility Across Markets
From boutique hotels to retail rollouts, from restaurants to office lobbies, metals adapt. A single collection of patinas can read luxe in hospitality, edgy in retail, or modern in workplace environments.
4. Durability Meets Beauty
Beyond aesthetics, metals resist wear and tear, making them well-suited for high-traffic areas. They maintain their brilliance long after paint and laminates fade.
Pattern: So Impressed
Artful metals are not just about looks — they’re about strategy. They allow designers and owners to achieve big, memorable moments without the big spend. With their affordability, adaptability, and timeless beauty, artful metals have moved from niche material to essential design tool.
