“I can picture it.
Can you make it?”
Bring a sketch, reference photo or rough concept. We can develop the shape, materials and construction details with you.

before you talk to us.
“I can picture it.
“I have drawings.
I need the right maker.”
We work through the fabrication, joins, finish and assembly so the finished piece stays true to the design.
Discuss my drawings“It needs to fit.
It needs to work.”
A difficult connection, a replacement part or an unusual finish. Tell us the constraints and we’ll explore a practical way forward.

A practical approach to making.
Architecture
& interiors
For architects and interior designers developing an individual space. We help translate the design into parts that can be made, joined and fitted.
- Doors, screens and room dividers
- Brass trim, cladding and fireplace surrounds
- Handles, shelving and furniture components
Art, display
& identity
For artists, designers and organisations with something to express. We work through form, assembly and finish with the people shaping the project.
- Sculpture and public art fabrication
- Display cases, plinths and feature structures
- Dimensional lettering and illuminated signage
Homes, venues
& outdoor spaces
For owners, builders and fitout teams who need something made to suit. A matching finish, a difficult dimension or a particular look can be the starting point.
- Tables, bases, planters and custom fixtures
- Feature lights and metal lighting components
- Benchtops, splashbacks and individual fittings
Parts, prototypes
& practical fixes
For a one-off component, an idea that needs testing or a piece that needs a new approach. We can assess the existing part and discuss a way forward.
- Custom brackets, connections and components
- Trial pieces, models and fabrication prototypes
- Repairs, modifications and metal restoration
Design meets fabrication
One-off pieces.
Considered solutions.
Brass and copper are a particular focus. We also work in stainless steel, aluminium and steel, with timber and other materials brought into the design where the project calls for them.

01Design, detailing & prototypes +
Take an idea into drawings, digital models and trial pieces. Work through dimensions, material selection, connections and fabrication before committing to the finished piece.
02Architectural metalwork & interiors +
Custom doors, screens, dividers, trims, cladding and fireplace surrounds. Develop the details that connect a design to the space it needs to fit.
03Public art & sculpture +
Turn an artist’s concept into a physical piece. Resolve formed sections, joints, assembly and finish in collaboration with the project team.
04Furniture, hardware & fixtures +
Bespoke tables, bases, handles, shelving, planters and display cases. Made around the dimensions, use and finish your project needs.
05Signage & custom lighting +
Fabricated lettering, illuminated signs and metal lighting components. We develop the physical piece and coordinate electrical requirements with the project’s electrician.
06Components, repairs & restoration +
Discuss custom parts, replacement components, modifications and specialist metal restoration. Send photographs and dimensions so we can assess what’s possible.

The right method.
For the right result.
- 01 / Understand
Start with the idea.
Tell us what it needs to do, how it should look and where it will go. Bring drawings, photographs, dimensions and your preferred timing.
- 02 / Resolve
Work out the making.
We consider how to cut, fold, roll, machine and join it. The aim is a practical build that protects the design, with scope and pricing agreed before fabrication.
- 03 / Create
Bring it into the world.
Fabrication, finishing and assembly turn the approved design into a physical piece, with delivery and installation discussed for each project.
