Helen Parker, the creative director at Devol, whose kitchen range includes copper worktops, sinks and splashbacks, says, “Copper looks rare and precious, and turns out to have amazing antibacterial properties, which now make it even more desirable. What a special product it has turned out to be, so glamorously chic and a little bohemian, with the power to kill pathogens in minutes.” Featured here, bespoke copper top and splashback in a Sebastian Cox kitchen, from £15,000; devolkitchens.co.uk
