From modernist staircases for Midtown condos to industrial-style shelving for Corktown restaurants, our Detroit shop turns concepts into reality.
We work with architects and designers to create functional art from steel, aluminum, and copper. Recent highlights include a perforated steel privacy screen for a Belle Isle patio and floating steel shelves for the Detroit Institute of Arts gift shop.
All fabrication begins with 3D modeling to verify proportions, followed by precision cutting on our Amada CNC plasma table. Final assemblies are hand-finished to museum quality standards.
