01 / The material

Why 316L?

Strength you can rely on. A surface you can live with. Four qualities behind our choice of stainless steel.

01

Made for
humid spaces.

Molybdenum improves resistance to chloride-related pitting, making 316L a considered choice for bathrooms and coastal environments with regular care.

02

Protection
from within.

Chromium forms a thin, protective passive layer on the steel. Corrosion resistance is part of the material itself.

03

Easy to clean.
Easy to live with.

A smooth, accessible surface keeps everyday care simple: mild soap, water and a soft cloth.

04

Low carbon.
Lasting character.

The “L” denotes low carbon, helping preserve resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding.

04 / Care & longevity

A little care.
Lasting beauty.

A simple routine helps preserve the finish and the material’s natural corrosion resistance.

01

Clean gently.

Use mild soap, warm water and a soft cloth. Wipe along the direction of the brushed grain.

02

Rinse thoroughly.

Remove soap residue and salt deposits with clean, fresh water.

03

Dry softly.

Finish with a soft, dry cloth to help prevent water marks.

Does stainless steel need care near the sea?

Yes. 316L offers good corrosion resistance, but no stainless steel is immune to corrosion. Salt deposits, standing moisture and harsh chemicals can affect the surface. Clean regularly, rinse away salt and dry thoroughly, especially in coastal settings.

Which cleaning products should I avoid?

Avoid chlorine bleach, chloride-containing or strongly acidic cleaners, steel wool and abrasive scouring pads. These can damage or contaminate the surface. Choose a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel, and rinse thoroughly after use.

What gives the OCEAN Collection its finish?

The brushed surface expresses the natural steel rather than an electroplated coating. Fine directional lines soften reflections and give each piece its understated metallic character.
