We collaborate with experienced riggers and specialized movers to ensure a smooth installation process, no matter the size or complexity of the work.
Consultation
We work closely with the artist to ensure that their artistic vision is translated into the final product. We provide advice on a range of technical aspects, including structural support and the selection of the proper material. We offer recommendations on the best paint and finish options for maximum durability, as well as practical solutions to any potential issues that may arise during the fabrication process or lifespan of the piece.
