Always amazing to work with @friendswithyou and their studio in bringing their vision to fruition. Here we bypassed a mold and utilized a 3d file to section off the sculpt, print, and send into production. Magic, love, and friendship is embodied in cast bronze featuring an elite matte automotive finish.

For Haas Brothers’ 'Will Feral', the artists shaped the original form through direct burnout and hands-on wax sculpting, building the intricate details and character of the work from the very beginning.⠀
⠀
At TBN, the wax form was cast in bronze, assembled, and carefully surface prepped before returning to the Haas Brothers for its final patina.⠀
⠀
From hand-shaped wax to cast bronze, each step adds another layer to the finished work, bringing the artists’ original vision through a process shaped by many hands.⠀

Built in bronze. Finished by hand.⠀

For Woody De Othello’s ‘one becomes two, two becomes one’, an original physical form was digitally captured and refined before being translated into wax PMMA prints for bronze casting and fabrication assembly.⠀
⠀
The final patina and surface finishing complete the work, translating Othello’s original form into bronze.⠀

From the workshop to a place of hope.

Created for City of Hope Cancer Center Atlanta, The Spirit of Life sculpture moved through a process of digital design, engineering, bronze sand casting, certified welding, and custom patina development.

Standing 12 feet tall, the sculpture brings together layers of craft and collaboration before finding its place in a setting dedicated to care, healing, and hope.

This gold-dipped strawberry requires more attention than your average fruit.⠀
⠀
Working alongside Desire Obtain Cherish, the artwork went through the whole process from digital sculpting to bronze casting to fabrication and ended with a custom candy tint finishing.⠀
⠀
Although, adding the details was a difficult task, the strawberry looks just as polished as it does delicious.⠀

'This windswept spirit' (2025) by Hayal Pozanti transforms bold geometry and graphic language into a striking sculptural presence.⠀
⠀
Bringing the work to life required a choreographed process, from digital file preparation and UV printing on dibond to custom powder coating, fabrication, final assembly, and the addition of mirror-polished stainless-steel accents. Each stage was designed to preserve the precision, energy, and rhythm of Pozanti's visual vocabulary while translating it into three dimensions.⠀

This is what sweet looks like when it knows its worth." - Desire Obtain Cherish.⠀
⠀
More than the average fruit, this strawberry exemplifies what it means to be polished, permanent, and excessive.⠀
⠀
Now aboard the Legend of Seas cruise ship, it brings a new meaning to the word luxury.⠀

A closer look at the details that make 'Hymn of Life: Tulips' unmistakably Yayoi Kusama.

Every dot, curve, and color carries the artist’s signature language, an expression of obsession, repetition, and an enduring sense of wonder. At this scale, the surface becomes a world of its own, revealing the precision and care behind every inch of the work.

Sometimes the smallest details are what bring the biggest ideas to life.
