Why We Use Metal in Modern Furniture
People often discover AERIS LIVING through our sculptural lighting — but a large part of what we design and make is metal. Our tables, storage and home objects are fabricated in aluminium, steel and galvanised iron, then finished to last. Here's why metal is central to how we build modern, functional furniture.
Metal is honest, strong and precise
Metal lets us design slim profiles and clean lines that still carry real weight and stability. A tubular aluminium frame can look light and minimal while holding a coffee table, a console or a shoe rack together for years. That balance of strength and lightness is hard to achieve any other way.
Fabrication is a craft
Sheet-metal fabrication — cutting, forming, welding and assembling — is a genuine making skill. Getting a curve consistent, a joint clean and a surface flat takes care and precision. It's the same design-led attention we bring to every piece, applied to metal.
Powder coating: where raw metal becomes a finished product
Raw metal isn't a finished product. Powder coating is what transforms it — a durable, even, colour-fast surface that resists scratches and everyday wear far better than paint. It's the step that gives our tables and objects their smooth, premium finish and makes them easy to live with.
Designed furniture, not just fabricated products
The point of working in metal isn't the material for its own sake — it's what the material lets us design. Considered proportions, honest construction and a premium finish turn fabricated metal into designed furniture that anchors a room.
Made in India
All of it — design, fabrication and finishing — happens in-house in India, so we control quality from the first cut to the final coat.
