About Us

 Welcome to the Surface Theory About Us page!

At Surface Theory, we’re passionate about taking everyday fixtures and turning them into pieces that tell a story. Founded by John Mosley and Aaron Gardiner, our focus is on brass/nickel aging and finishing — crafting finishes that feel both timeless and modern.

We believe that the little details matter. A faucet, a handle, or a fixture isn’t just functional; it’s part of the experience of a home or space. That’s why we treat every piece with care, precision, and an eye for character.

Our process blends traditional techniques with modern innovation, giving each item a finish that’s unique, durable, and full of personality. Whether you’re a designer, a contractor, or a homeowner looking for something distinctive, we aim to create pieces that elevate every space they touch.

We can turn any non-lacquered brass/nickel faucet/item you send our way into something truly special that fits a particular vision you have in mind.

At Surface Theory, it’s not just about finishes — it’s about giving your surfaces a story.
