Dezeen Showroom: any surface can be made to look like metal with the Purometallo coating, created by Italian finishing brand Ideal Work.

Purometallo is a metal powder-based coating with six different colour options: gold, bronze, copper, pewter, iron or Corten steel.

The coating is just three millimetres thick and can be applied to any surface, so it allows designers to transform a space without demolition or extensive renovations or demolition.

Ideal Work describes it as creating a "super real effect", heightened by the textures generated through different applicators.

These tools can give a tactile, shiny foil or iron-oxide look.

Purometallo is recommended for walls and furniture, and creates a continuous finish with no visible joints.
