Aluminum Vs. Anodized Aluminum | Airplane Style Furniture

If you have a small space to furnish, aluminum is a great choice. Similar to the effect that hanging a large mirror in a small space does to create the illusion of a larger area, adding a highly reflective object, such as one of our furniture pieces, reflects the light and brightens the space, giving the room a larger feel.

We have been broadening the selection of metal types available here at RamonaMetal for our different pieces of aviator furniture, and now have available two types of aluminum material for two completely different looks.

One is aluminum, and the other is anodized aluminum.

What is the difference?

First off, the sheen. As you can see below, the aluminum is semi-reflective of the surroundings, giving a more mirror-like appearance, while the anodized aluminum gives it a matte look.

Aluminum’s greatest asset is that it doesn’t rust. There is no paint or coating to wear off. Anodizing the aluminum is a process that increases the thickness of the coating, making it harder, thicker, and even more resistant to corrosion. It is more durable from normal wear and usage.

Anodized aluminum can also be made into different colors, such as black, that we use in all of the pieces of our Black Ops Collection.

Pure aluminum has a beautiful reflective quality.

Anodized aluminum has more durability.

Both have a stunning look.

Simple Improvement to Our Aviator-Inspired Biplane Table - minor assembly required vs. already assembled

We've made a simple change with what we originally designed our Biplane Table to do for perfect...all for the better.

Originally our Biplane Table was designed to ship flat for very simple shipping, and some minor assembly required once it arrived at your door. But even this table was hard for us to assemble! We decided to take the headache out for you and ship it already assembled and ready to furnish your home or office with.

Great idea? Brilliant.

Its like opening a present at Christmas! Its all ready to drool over.

Would you look at those gorgeously intersected legs!

Until next time,

Alicia

NEW to Ramona Metal Brushed Finish Aviator Inspired Metal Furniture | Gorgeous Designer Look

Our aviator inspired furniture has taken on a whole new look with just a simple twist:

Hand sanded aluminum metal for a gorgeous, brushed finish.

But before we show you the new look, take a peek at the original look of our JetSet Coffee Table. Beautiful. Semi-reflective. Flawless.

And now, for our newest look added to Ramona Metal: the brushed finish. Each Brushed Finish JetSet Coffee Table is sanded by hand with fine sandpaper to perfection to give the aluminum a rich, luxurious look. If you want to add more visual texture to your room, this look was made for you.

We're drooling over this new look so much here at Ramona Metal, that we want to offer the brushed finish on all our aluminum products!

But don't worry...we will continue to offer both styles for purchase on our website...the original, matte look and the brushed finish. We just like to give you more goodness to choose from.

Tell us what you think on the new look! We'd love to hear your thoughts, so shoot us a message through our website or Facebook.

 

Cheers!

Biplane Table | New Product | Oak and Aluminum Aviator-Inspired End Table

As promised, the Biplane Table we blogged about in an earlier post, has now come to RamonaMetal!

 

It all started from a sketch from our awesome designer, James Stumpf.

 

Fascinating. Clean. Simple design.

 

 

But in the workshop, this simple design turned out to be far more complex. Many long, grueling hours were spent refining the first prototype, getting the angles just right.

 

 

And with the clever minds and skilled hands of our irreplaceable team working together, we are proud to bring to your home and office this beautifully balanced Biplane Table, which truly is simple.
