Workshop in Innsbruck

From the design to a single piece

We make prototypes and small production runs, and we accompany product development. Our aim is to translate the conceptual idea into material and form as faithfully as we can. Precise handwork, computer-controlled machines, knowledge of materials and a great deal of experience come together so that models for the highest expectations can take shape.

Every model is a single piece that we develop with care. A new enquiry defines the room we have to work in, and together with our clients we develop an individual concept for materiality, feel and level of detail.

What we hold ourselves to

That subtly conveyed atmosphere is felt in the model as one coherent impression, whether abstract, elegant, raw, warm or matter-of-factly cool.

We advise and we develop. We are tinkerers and we are fond of perfection. We are straightforward and dependable!

What we build for you

Competition models

In a competition the small nuances make the decisive difference. For city planning departments and municipalities we build context models at an urban scale.

For property sales, trade fair events and interiors, atmosphere and design lead. At a larger scale the full range of our methods comes into its own.

Special projects

A single piece or a small run: for anything between 1 and 1,000 we are properly equipped. Our machines can do (almost) everything, 3D printing, laser cutting or milling.

Under every model stands whose idea it is

Our clients include architects and property offices, city planning departments and municipalities. Artists and film makers value our appetite for experimenting with expression and material as well.
