We've long been fans of Futagama, a Japanese collective founded in 1897 that makes brass artifacts in the Buddhist tradition, with a focus on producing household accessories made of brass alloys. The company recently launched Matureware, a new line of architectural hardware that includes brass switchplates, door handles, plaques, and more. The name, according to the company, "is a play on hardware, with an emphasis on the idea that due to the brass casting process the products will develop an aged, or 'mature,' patina over time." It's still early days; go to Matureware for pricing and sourcing information.
