Fuscara Blackened Stainless Steel is engineered for both beauty and endurance. This material offers a rich spectrum of deep, dark hues, from charcoal undertones to inky blacks with subtle hints of bronze or blue, depending on light and angle. It offers timeless character and durability. Crafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this product withstands harsh climates, urban pollution, and marine environments without fading, rusting, or warping. Its non-reactive surface resists fingerprints, oxidation, and staining.
Fuscara’s distinctive finish isn’t just dark, it’s dimensional. Unlike powder coats or painted metals, its patina is developed through Zahner’s proprietary process, revealing depth and complexity that evolve over time. The result is a surface that looks and feels elemental yet refined. For architects or designers seeking contrast or a counterbalance to glass or stone, Fuscara offers a modern and ancient material.
