This is where it all started. The workshop was born to produce our own projects and slowly became what it is today, when other artists started asking us for help with theirs. An artist doesn’t commission a standard product. They commission an idea made real without being diluted along the way, with extreme attention to details nobody else sees. We work from your side of the table: not as a fabricator who just executes, but as someone who understands why that micro-detail matters.
If you’re the one putting on the show, you know another side of the problem: an opening date getting closer by the day, pieces arriving at the venue at the last minute, and frames and pedestals still waiting to be made. We help artists produce their work, and we help the people who show it with everything around it, so getting to opening night is a formality and not a crisis.
Contemporary sculpture
Lacquered MDF sculptures for the ZonaMaco fair in Mexico, pieces milled in polyurethane foam for an exhibition at Crèvecoeur in Paris, laser-cut text on acrylic for Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. The machine does the heavy lifting, but what separates a sculpture from a factory part is the intention behind it and the care with which it’s programmed, adjusted and finished.

Technical parts
POM and aluminum parts for a Yunchul Kim installation, components for Anouk Wipprecht’s robotic dresses, hundreds of laser-cut pieces that fold like an accordion for Iza Tarasewicz. When everything has to fit within engineering tolerances, you want a fabricator who keeps the technical conversation from overshadowing the aesthetics.

Interactive installations
Some works are built around a behavior, a reaction to the audience. Motors, light, sound, sensors: electronics and programming weigh as much as the material that gives them form. We know this firsthand, because these are the installations we develop for our own work, with custom-designed circuit boards and the software that makes them run.

Frames and pedestals
Some structures make the work possible and need the same level of attention, without competing with it. Handcrafted beech wood frames for an exhibition at Fundación Botí, wood panels with a 1 mm stainless steel profile for Aline Alagem… when the material is that thin, the margin for error is about the width of a hair.

Your idea, undiluted
If you speak in ideas and intentions and your fabricator sees nothing beyond an hourly rate, that’s a red flag.
