Some of the best design strategies are discovered by accident. Acoustic panels, for example, were first installed to perfect sound in theatres and concert halls. Only later did we realise their power in reducing stress and supporting neurodiverse users in classrooms, offices, and hospitals.

Adonic Matt Bronze is on a similar journey.

Architects and designers have embraced Poole Waite's Adonic Matt Bronze Collection for its warmth, sophistication, and understated luxury. Its matt, non-reflective surface provides a timeless alternative to polished metals, while most products use a base material of 304/316 stainless steel finished with specialist coatings to ensure long-term durability.

What you didn't know about Matt Bronze

When you specified Adonic Matt Bronze, you were probably thinking about aesthetics, consistency across a project, or compliance with fire and performance standards. But what you might not have realised is that this finish also aligns naturally with neurodiverse design principles:

Low glare reduces overstimulation.
Tactile warmth makes interaction more comfortable and human.
Contrast and compliance aid wayfinding and support Equality Act 8300 accessibility standards.

Just like acoustics moved from a technical fix to an inclusion strategy, Adonic Matt Bronze is more than a trend. It’s a conscious design decision that delivers aesthetics, inclusivity, and performance in one.

Certified performance

And, crucially, this doesn’t come at the expense of specification standards. Adonic Matt Bronze products meet Certifire and BS EN fire & performance standards, including the 8300 Equality Act, ensuring that beauty, safety, and compliance go hand in hand.

You may have been choosing Adonic Matt Bronze for its style. Now you know it also supports inclusive, neurodiverse-friendly design. That means your next specification isn’t just a trend — it’s a conscious decision.
