From home furnishings and clothing, to handicrafts,
jewelry, and even musical instruments, civilizations have crafted
many different types of goods from copper for thousands of years.
Today, copper is used in these and other consumer products, such as
coffee tables, dining tables, chairs, benches, lamps, lighting fixtures,
picture frames, mirrors, fireplace equipment, kitchen ware, and sculptures.
In the clothing market, fashionable copper mesh evening gowns and
shoes are styled in copper colors, including cuprite red-orange, sulfur,
and bronze. From time to time and in various places around the world,
there is heightened emphasis from design shops for the wet, sheen,
and shine "metal look." Cosmetic manufacturers also attract women
with bronze and copper colored makeup products.
In recent years, copper has played a major role in home electronic
products. From electrical wires and contacts to the fastest computer
chips available, copper benefits our lives behind the scenes - making
electronic equipment run faster, operate cooler and last longer. |
