Consulting

We advise and consult architects, designers and museum staff in how to find the most suitable technical solutions within any given architectural context. We help to identify the core requirements at an early stage in order to develop a design without compromises. Interdisciplinary collaboration and meticulous attention to the design concept, the technical features requested, the available budget and the time-schedule are all standard in our approach.

Design and Engineering

We customise our project teams depending on the type, size and complexity of the project, pairing experience with innovation. The team initiates every project by analysing the general design and the given specifics. By doing this we ensure that the design stays technically feasible and compatible with all features requested. In dialogue with our clients, we then draw up comprehensive detailed plans that remain true to the underlying architectural intent.

Production

We conduct most of our production and pre-assembly in our own modern and well-equipped workshops. We do this to ensure that all components comply with our high standards. Quality management is a vital part of the production process and constant feedback helps us improve. Our display cases are built exclusively with emission-tested materials according to the comprehensive BEMMA assesment scheme or the ODDY test procedure. Our multidisciplinary team of skilled artisans work closely together with our technical team to ensure resource-efficient production. We also have a reliable and established network of suppliers and subcontractors supporting us with comprehensive projects.

Assembly

We always carry out on-site assembly of our products with our own crew worldwide. Our fitters and mount-makers are experienced artisans use to working in a highly targeted manner in projects involving sensitive cultural assets and listed buildings. In constant communication with our office and the clients’ representatives, they organise and safeguard the workflow on-site, ensuring that all project-specific requirements are implemented.

Team

We are a team of dedicated generalists who are drawn to all aspects of design practice, with an equal emphasis on design, engineering and crafts. Our team consists of experienced architects, designers and engineers as well as highly skilled artisans, fitters and mount-makers.
