Design Atelier · est. 2017

    More than a workshop.
    We design with you.

    “Idea first. Form follows.”

    Selected work

    We can sculpt anything. Truly anything.

    Portrait, profession, pet — of course. But also the idea nobody else dares: the dragon boat team, the BBQ champion with his apron, the espresso bar in miniature. Describe it — we sculpt it by hand in polymer clay.
