Metal casting & jewelry

Liquid metal. Defined form - From object to piece of jewelry.

In metal casting, the material is liquefied in a crucible and poured into a prepared mold. We work with the investment casting process (lost-wax casting) as well as sand casting—depending on the requirements for surface quality, detail, and quantity.

Investment casting enables the finest geometries and sharp contours—the process is particularly suitable for jewelry, small parts, and complex shapes that would be impossible to produce from solid material. Sand casting allows for larger formats and richly textured surfaces, which can be used as a design element. For jewelry, we combine classic goldsmithing techniques with 3D-modeled positives from a resin printer and manual finishing. Material combinations with glass, ceramics, or natural materials are also available upon request.

Materials processed: Silver, gold, bronze, brass, aluminum, tin, cast iron by arrangement.

Suitable for: Design objects, architectural details, prototypes, small series, jewelry editions, material combinations

Metal construction

Welding, cutting, joining - From design to finished product

Metal fabrication in our studio means handcrafted construction without industrial detours. We work with MIG/MAG and TIG welding, thermal and mechanical cutting, as well as classic joining and forming techniques. Our range extends from simple steel beams to delicate brass structures.

For design projects, the direct integration of planning and execution in the same space is a significant advantage—dimensions are developed on-site, and connections are iteratively adjusted. This approach is particularly beneficial for furniture, lighting, installations, and support structures for other materials (glass, wood, ceramics), resulting in solutions that would be impossible to implement industrially.

Suitable for: Furniture and objects, supporting structures, lighting fixtures, room installations, repair and modification

Forge

Hot forming - power, control, character

In forging, heated metal is shaped by striking and applying pressure. Unlike casting, forging creates a denser material structure—surfaces bear the visible history of their creation. The technique combines physical directness with a high degree of formal freedom.

We work with open-die forging for organic and sculptural forms, as well as with dies for reproducible profiles. Especially in combination with other processes—welding, grinding, patination—surfaces and forms with a distinctive material character are created.

Suitable for: Sculptural objects, architectural details, tools, decorative elements, unique pieces

3D printing & CNC milling of casting and tool molds

Digital manufacturing for steel and graphite molds

For maximum dimensional accuracy in metal and glass casting processes, we manufacture tool molds directly from steel and graphite—milled using CNC technology or as a hybrid of 3D printing and machining. Graphite is the preferred material for glass casting tools: thermally stable, easily machinable, and able to maintain sharp contours even with repeated use.

Steel permanent molds are suitable for casting processes with higher production volumes, where plaster or expendable molds are not economical. Digital manufacturing allows the direct transfer of CAD data into physical tools—without manual intermediate steps and with reproducible precision. Combined with our glass studio and mold making, this creates a complete production cycle under one roof.

Suitable for: Graphite tools for glassblowing and glass casting, steel permanent molds, small series tools, prototype molds for metal and glass applications
