Copper is a highly versatile metal known for its strength, malleability, and resistance to corrosion. Its excellent conductivity and durability make it suitable for both structural and decorative applications. While it is soft enough to be shaped with precision, it remains tough and resilient—ideal for architectural elements that demand both form and function.
