The other side of our business is large-scale public sculpture design. How, pray tell, does this relate to product design? Surprising to some, the sculpture design process is similar and the deliverables are almost identical. Sculpture informs our product design work precisely because public sculpture requires a certain elegance and directness in engineering approach. Artists like to build from our plans because of the simplicity and completeness of our engineering solutions.

We love public sculpture because we get to show off our skills as engineers and designers in a very public way.

We offer fixed-rate pricing for sculpture commissions based on total project budget. We help in two stages: proposal and engineering.

In the proposal stage, we take your napkin sketches or images of your model and turn it into a solid model. We then create a 2d "pre- engineering" document release, high-quality renderings, and videos of your sculpture in action. The creation of the 3d model is an iterative process and we are skilled at working with even the most visionary artists.

In the engineering detail stage, we develop high-quality and complete build drawings per your needs. Different sculptures need different things, so we customize this stage to complement your skillset and requirements.

Because we love working with artists, and understand the realities of the working artist finances, we offer these services in a fixed bid manner. The proposal stage takes 3% of the total commission. The engineering detail phase takes an additional 10% of the total sculpture budget. These are numbers you can use in your proposal right now. Of course, if you're doing something completely insane, let's talk first! We can also provide by-the-hour consulting if that's what you desire.
