John
& Heather Zondervan
This
small progressive studio near Guelph, Ontario, is part of the changing
face of metal art. Based on the philosophy of minimalism, the work
has a distinctive style, featuring clean lines, and, in the case
of the indoor designs, a consistant ground metal finish.
Founders
John and Heather Zondervan come from a diverse design background,
from custom wood furniture to costuming. Strongly influenced by
the Bauhaus and Deco design movements, this husband and wife team
first began translating their ideas into steel in 1991, and since
then have developed a broad range of metal products for the home
and garden.
Both
artisans are completely involved in all aspects of the design and
fabricating process. All the work is done by hand, ensuring individual
attention to each piece as well as making each item unique.
Care Instructions
Indoors All
pieces in the line of shiny metal work are made of mild steel, polished,
then coated with a rust-resistant finish. As with fine furniture, care
should be taken to ensure that the finish is not scratched, or that the
piece is not used in damp areas such as outdoors, as this could expose
the steel to possible oxidation.
Do not use abrasive
cleaners or soak in water - clean only with a damp cloth and dry well.
As each piece is made by hand, irregularities in the design or finish
are a natural part of the work and enhance its uniqueness.
We do our best to
polish all parts of the metal work. Nonetheless, caution should be taken
as some designs may have sharp edges and should not be used around small
children or in high traffic areas.
Outdoors Each
item in this grouping has been made of uncoated steel and has been deliberately
designed to be rustic. We have given the pieces a head start in developing
the rust finish. Once installed outside, this finish will mature into
a deep brown patina. Any existing irregularities, scratches, and marks
on the piece will blend and change over time.
All items in this
collection can be enjoyed outdoors year around with no maintenance required.
If you prefer to install this artwork indoors, we recommend sealing it
with a clear spray paint designed for metal, to prevent scaling.
