All stainless steel products in the OASIQ collection are made of Grade 304 and 316 stainless steel. This metal is composed of various alloy elements such as iron, nickel, and chromium. When exposed to air, a hard chromium-oxide layer is formed that protects the metal against corrosion. OASIQ's stainless steel products have been hand-brushed to give their surface a satin-like shine that feels very smooth. The result is a corrosion-resistant surface that is easy to clean and maintain.  The majority of the metal utilized in our furnishings is procured from Taiwan, which produces the bulk of the world’s most advanced semiconductors and is specially equipped to provide the most durable metal possible. In addition, over 50% of the metals used in OASIQ furniture are recycled or recyclable—and recycled aluminum uses 95% less energy than manufacturing with crude resources.
