An Instrument Of Life: Unpacking The Potential Of Stainless Steel With Quadrodesign

The secret to its success lies in its incredible physical and chemical properties. An alloy of iron and carbon, the element of chromium is what sets it apart from normal steel—reacting to oxygen from air or water, it allows for the formation of a tough, invisible layer of chromium oxide on the surface, which gives the metal its corrosion resistance. Its radical properties are enhanced by the addition of other elements such as nickel, titanium, and manganese, which make it fire and heat resistant, and also create a lustrous and bright finish, giving it its attractive and modern character. On top of this, the metal can be formed, cut, welded, bent, machined, assembled, and fabricated easily; it does not rust, chip, stain, or scratch.
The metal has inexhaustible functions and applications in living environments
Owing to its combination of properties and minimal maintenance, the metal has inexhaustible functions and a broad range of applications in living environments, from the tiniest structural part in a valve to the largest architectural systems. Designers have long appreciated its noble character and modern quality—versatile, durable, and expressive, the material creates harmonious uniformity in any living space, matching materials, textures, and furniture seamlessly.
