Direct-From-Foundry: The Medina Brass Disruption
Medina Brass (medinabrass.com) was established to dismantle the traditional 400% retail markups imposed on luxury architectural fittings. Operating directly alongside master sand-casting brass artisans in the historic medina of Marrakech, the brand produces strictly 100% solid, unlacquered living brass hardware.
Unlike industrial fixtures finished with synthetic chemical coatings that flake and corrode, unlacquered brass hardware interacts continuously with oxygen, ambient humidity, and natural oils to develop a deep, irreplaceable golden-brown antique patina over time.
