Sculpture Fabrication for Artists & Galleries in Dubai

Read this first

Who This Page Is For

We are not a gallery and we do not represent artists. We are the workshop behind the work — the fabricator a painter, photographer or digital artist calls when a collector or a gallery wants the piece in three dimensions.

You areA represented artist whose primary medium is not sculpture, with a commission or an edition to deliver in stone or metal.

Or you areA gallery commissioning a resident artist, or an art consultant placing a commissioned piece.

We doEverything between your idea and the collector's wall or garden — modelling, engineering, fabrication, crating, shipping, installation.

We don'tShow the work, credit ourselves, or keep your files. Your name is the only name on it.

MaterialsMarble, Bronze and Stainless Steel — and the three are all we claim mastery in.

Track recordPieces we fabricated for artists have been shown at Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum and in public installations across the UAE.

What we take off your desk

From Your Sketch To Their Site

Six stages, one point of contact. You approve at each gate; nothing moves without your sign-off.

01BriefA sketch, a painting, a maquette, a 3D file or a conversation. We translate it into a fabrication drawing with dimensions, material, finish and a fixed price.

02ModelA 3D model, then a 3D print at scale for approval — in your hands or the gallery's, so proportion is agreed before any material is bought.

03SampleStone offcuts, patina coupons, finish swatches — made against your reference and sent to you. The surface is signed off before the piece.

04FabricateCarving, casting or fabrication in our Al Quoz workshop, photographed at every stage. You see the piece before the collector does.

05SurveyOur surveyor visits the site: floor loading, anchors, access, crane path, MEP for water or fire. The base is designed to the place, not the other way round.

06InstallMuseum-grade crating, art handlers, insured transit, installation by our team, condition report on handover, and a care sheet in the collector's hands.

The technical part

The Questions We Answer Before You Ask

The things that go wrong when a two-dimensional idea becomes a three-dimensional object — and how we head them off.

Will it stand, and for how long?

We resolveInternal armature and wall thickness by material — hollow-cast Bronze, fabricated 316 shell, or solid stone with vein orientation checked against every thin element.

You getA load and fixing spec: dead weight, wind load for exterior work, plinth and anchor detail, floor-loading limits for interior placement.

Send us the maquette photos and the site address. We come back with a drawing, a structural note and a fixed price.

Confidentiality

Never Shown. Never Shared.

Your commission does not appear on this site, in our studio, on our social channels or in our sales conversations — during fabrication or after. NDA on request as standard. Unmarked crates. Your files stay yours; moulds and models are released or destroyed on your instruction. The only name on the work is yours.

Where the work has gone

Museum Walls, Gallery Floors, Public Ground

Pieces fabricated in our workshop for artists have been shown at Louvre Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum, installed in public spaces across the UAE, and delivered through galleries including Eden Gallery and Green Art Gallery. We name the institutions because they are public. We never name the artists.

InstitutionalCondition reporting, museum-grade crating and handling protocols that curators and registrars expect.

GalleryEditions with matched finishes, certificates of fabrication on request, delivery to the collector on the gallery's behalf.

Public realmStructural sign-off, anti-vandal fixings, weather-rated finishes and a maintenance schedule the municipality can follow.

Logistics

Getting It There

A finished piece is a liability until it is installed. This is how it travels.

01CrateMuseum-grade, ISPM-15 timber, foam-cut to the form, unmarked. Fixings and tools packed with it.

02HandleFine-art handlers only — we work with Bovis Movers International through their Dubai branch, Crown Fine Art and specialist art handlers for local moves.

03InsureTransit insurance to declared value, condition report photographed at dispatch and again on arrival.

04ClearCustoms paperwork, ATA carnets for exhibition loans, and GCC road freight or air freight arranged to the site date.

05InstallOur team installs — crane, lift or hand — to the surveyed base, then hands over with a signed condition report.

06MaintainA care sheet for the collector, and a return visit or maintenance schedule where the piece needs it.

Commercial terms

Money And Time, Plainly

Artists tell us the two things they cannot get from most workshops are a fixed price and a date. So those come first.

QuoteA fixed proposal after the model is approved — material, finish, base, delivery and installation itemised. No hourly surprises.

PaymentFifty percent to confirm, fifty percent on your approval of the completed piece, before dispatch.

MarbleSix to twelve weeks from approved drawing, depending on block sourcing.

BronzeEight to twelve weeks from approved model — moulding and casting set the pace.

Stainless SteelSix to eight weeks from approved 3D model.

EditionsPriced per piece with the mould or tooling costed once; finishes matched to the signed-off coupon.

Details before the decision

Questions We Get Asked

Do you credit yourselves on the work?

No. The work carries your name and your gallery's. We do not mark, photograph for portfolio, or reference the piece unless you ask us to.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, as standard, before we see the brief if you prefer. Confidentiality also covers our subcontracted foundry and stone yard, who work under the same terms.

Can you work from a painting or a sketch, not a model?

Yes. We build the 3D model from your reference and iterate with you, then print it at scale for approval. Nothing is fabricated from an unapproved model.

Who owns the files, moulds and models?

You do. 3D files are yours; moulds and tooling are stored for editions, released to you, or destroyed on your instruction — in writing.

Can I visit during fabrication?

Yes. Our workshop is in Al Quoz, Dubai. Artists abroad get staged photography and video at every gate, and a print at scale sent to them.

What files do you accept?

STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES, 3DM, FBX and native Rhino or Blender files, or a scan we make of your maquette. Photographs and drawings are fine to start.

How large can you go?

Monumental. Large stone is cut in sections and seam-finished on site; fabricated steel is sectioned at hidden joints; bronze is cast in parts and welded. Site access and crane path are surveyed first.

Do you deliver outside the UAE?

Yes, across the GCC and internationally, with fine-art handlers, transit insurance and customs handled. Exhibition loans travel on ATA carnets where required.
