Alejandra Ochoa de Thompson, the founder and creative
director of Thompson Traders, grew up near the renowned
copper-crafting region of Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, where
generations of coppersmiths have used time-honored, metal-
crafting techniques for centuries. Traditions of her native Mexico
inspire many of Alejandra's creations, including copper tubs,
which are a fixture in Mexican homes.
Thompson Traders personally guides the creation of its pure
copper pieces at its facility in Santa Clara del Cobre. Its lifetime
finishes prevent the naturally occurring patina that changes
copper's appearance over time.
Thompson Traders is the largest decorative metals product
provider in the United States, with a focus on copper. Located
in Greensboro, NC, the company is family-owned and operated.
Working with artisans in Mexico and India, Thompson Traders
transforms the highest-quality materials into one-of-a-kind
designs for the home. Each piece is handcrafted, unique and
possesses a story that is all its own. For more information, visit

includes refrigerators, ranges, a dishwasher and microwave
oven, features a sophisticated black stainless steel finish that is
both fingerprint- and smudge-resistant.
The LG Diamond Collection updates the traditional stainless
steel look with a warmer, unique color that pairs seamlessly with
any style or color of surrounding cabinetry. Formed from a base
of stainless steel that's coated with a darker hue and topped
with a protective, special coating, LG's latest
appliance suite sets a new, elevated look for kitchen
spaces. The collection's fingerprint-resistant finish is easy to
maintain with a soft, dry cloth and eliminates the need for
stainless steel cleaner.
