From Rich to Radiant

The Transformation of Brass Patina

Brass evolves beautifully over time, developing a rich patina that enhances its depth and character. As it reacts to air, moisture, and touch, its surface gradually shifts—deepening into warm golden hues, rich browns, or even hints of green and blue. Unlike materials that degrade, brass gains a lived-in elegance, with each mark and change telling a story of use and history. Through natural oxidation and handling, its finish becomes uniquely its own, embodying a timeless aesthetic that only grows more captivating with age.

Makers Cabinet Solid Brass Pencil Sharpener - Høvel - Tools | Last Manner

Makers Cabinet

Odin Ardagh, Benjamin Weininger, and Noah Bier met as product design students at Central Saint Martins in London, and in 2017 they founded Makers Cabinet to push back against a stationery market built on throwaway tools. Their first idea was a simple one: rethink the way a pencil is sharpened. That idea became the Høvel. Since then, the studio has built a collection of solid brass instruments, each designed to be used for a lifetime and passed down, that turn drawing and writing into something closer to craft.
