Fabrication for artists and design firms

Visual artists, landscape architects and architectural firms: we turn your project into a built work, whilst remaining true to the original intention. We speak the designers’ language: Marc Blume is himself a sculptor, landscape architect and engineer.

Your design, built exactly as you imagined it

In our workshop and on site, our teams bring together carpenters, joiners, welders, architects and landscape architects, depending on the skills your work requires.

From competition entry to installation

  • Competition entry: feasibility, cost estimate, technical dossier.
  • Research and design: we compare solutions and materials, then draw up the calculations and working drawings.
  • Prototypes and trials, validated with you.
  • Manufacture in our workshop in Pantin.
  • Transport, installation and on-site handover.

Materials

We test and compare the materials for each artwork: steel, mirror-polished stainless steel, Corten steel, brass, wood, stone, concrete, glass and plants; as well as reused and bio-based materials.
