GARDEN DESIGN
IF IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ARISTOTLE …
When it comes to colour and texture, powder coatings are a bit like a chameleon— able to take on almost any appearance you can dream up. At Powdertech Corby, we’ ve taken this idea and run with it, developing a stunning portfolio of finishes that echo the beauty of nature itself. Think warm wood grains, rugged stone textures, rustic terracotta, and even the rich sheen of polished or weathered metals.
Why? Because we know that architects and designers are constantly seeking that perfect balance between aesthetic appeal and practical performance. Our‘ mimetic’ finishes let you recreate the character of natural materials— materials we’ re all deeply drawn to— while harnessing the benefits of strong, flexible, and lightweight metals like aluminium.
Art imitating nature In essence, we’ re embracing the ancient concept of mimesis— imitation— as a design philosophy. For Aristotle, art was all about imitating nature, and its value was judged on how convincingly it did so. This idea held strong for centuries, influencing generations of artists, thinkers, and philosophers who believed that art should not only mirror nature but also serve a purpose— whether moral, spiritual, educational, or societal.
Thankfully, we’ ve left the heavy philosophy lectures behind. But we still love the idea that our work carries a legacy that stretches back to the classical world. And yes, we are more than a little proud of the dedication and craftsmanship that go into every single finish we create. From capturing the sparkle in a slab of granite, to replicating the depth and gloss of glazed terracotta or the organic knots and grains of timber— our finishes are all about celebrating nature.
Curious to see for yourself? Pay a visit to our website to browse our collections— Wood Finish, Stone Finish, Terracotta, Evolution, and PowderLUX. You’ ll find case studies, inspiration, and examples of projects where our mimetic finishes have transformed everyday metal into something extraordinary.
Better still, give us a call. We can talk about the mood, tone, and texture you want to bring to life in your next landscape design. Whether you’ re going for the warmth of oak, the cool strength of slate, or the earthy depth of clay, we’ ve got a finish that brings your vision to life— beautifully, naturally, and reliably.
