Bespoke
adjective - specially made for a specific person.
Our difference - is digital.
It all starts with a concept. That brilliant spark of imagination in the eye of the architect, designer, or owner. Do you have a memory, an image from Pinterest, a photo you took on vacation, or even a napkin sketch of what you’re thinking of? We’ve worked with less and produced incredible results. While we can faithfully reproduce just about any design that sparked your imagination, we generally find that we can not only improve upon it, but we can also make it more personal to you.
Your concept combined with our knowledge of materials, application, and build techniques ensure we start from a solid foundation.
From there we launch a barrage of questions that help refine the idea into something truly remarkable. Style, materials, finish, composition, shape, and features are all discussed until we and the client are on the same conceptual page.
Next comes the digital. Whether it’s a single piece, or dozens of pieces with a common stylistic theme, we generate digital drawings for your approval. This is the time to make changes, large or small, to the designs. From tweaking the stylized cutout to make it a bit more personalized, or radically altering the sizes of planters, retaining walls, or fence systems, it’s much easier to make changes digitally then in the production studio.
Once all parties are satisfied with the design, and feasibility, we’re ready for a deposit, and your job goes onto the production schedule.
You're a big part of the process.
Your hands on?
Some clients want to be involved with production. For example, when producing this unique stair railing a combination of calming waves and energetic fire-engine red coating, the owner wanted to not only add her personal touches, she wanted to participate in the actual layout to make the piece even more personal.
Of course our clients are almost never metal fabricators; but we invited the into the prepared studio (clearly by appointment) and worked with her to layout the waves and arcs in the railing. It was a significant and meaningful contribution. After the layout was finalized, she left us to the actual “dirty work” of welding, grinding, cutting, and finishing. She claims it made the piece much more personal, and still boasts of her participation.
