Artworks and structures made of steel and Corten steel
Steel is durable; Corten steel develops a protective, earth-coloured rust patina. We create monumental sculptures, structures for temporary gardens, and walls, steps and edging for gardens.
What we do
- Technical design, calculations and working drawings.
- Cutting, bending and welding (MIG, TIG and laser) at our workshop in Pantin.
- Dismantlable structures for festivals.
- Foundations: HEA beams and steel slabs.
- Transport, lifting and installation.
Projects in steel and Corten steel

Who is it for?
Artists, landscape and architectural firms, and public and private clients. We get involved right from the application stage to assess the feasibility of the artwork and estimate its production costs.
