Designs 05 can create a bespoke brass worktop for your kitchen using the best quality traditional yellow brass sheet sourced from German mills. This is the flattest and the best appearance. We can make worktops up to 3 meters long without a joint.

Our facilities comprise a metal fabrication workshop, a woodworking shop, a patina metal ageing studio, and a lacquer spray shop so that we can offer a full manufacturing service under one roof.

This brass kitchen worktop in light aged patina was made in three sections.

The left-hand section has a bespoke-sized integrated brass sink welded in.

The rear section has an acute angle where it fits against the stone wall and an upstand folded in where it meets the timber panels.

The right-hand T-shaped section is bespoke.

The client supplied templates.

Brass kitchen island worktop

A good example of an extra wide, 120cm, three seater brass island worktop with breakfast bar.

You can see a joint running lengthways down this top. This is because it was too wide to make from standard brass sheets while allowing enough metal to fold down the sides and back underneath. The two brass pieces are folded into the seam.

The end panel has no seam because it fits inside a 100cm wide sheet.

The finish to the brass is a light-aged patina.

Another brass worktop/breakfast bar

Two brass kitchen worktops here; the rear, which is partly visible, is a standard rectangular worktop.

The front worktop is dual-purpose: worktop and breakfast bar. All visible timber on this unit was clad in brass; you can see patina brass panels in the back of the unit.

Brass sinks

One of our specialities is brass sinks. The worktop is not brass in this case.

As you can see it is a double sink with an integrated drain area.

The drainer and perimeter around the sinks were machined out of a thick, solid brass sheet. The sinks were then fabricated and welded into the framework. We can create brass worktops with integrated brass sinks for a seamless look.

This is a fairly straightforward brass top, quite large, with a straight-in-line four-burner stainless steel hob.

The finish is natural brass.

Rustic brass counter

This was a bespoke commission for Stuart Holt of Javelin Block property development in Birmingham.

A rustic brass dining bar and worktop on top of brass-clad kitchen units. The unit is circa 8 meters long.

This unit blends perfectly into the industrial decor like an antique brass worktop.

Kitchen unit doors

When cladding kitchen doors and cupboard panels, we need to work with your kitchen manufacturer/installer to achieve the best results. We need to discuss dimensional tolerances for the added metal thickness, and the hinge design needs consideration.

Typically, the kitchen fitter installs everything, including the tops; often, the installer will supply the worktop timber carcass to us for copper cladding. This often happens where a wall is not dead straight and the worktop has to be scribed and cut specially to fit.

The whole project is a joint effort.
