Processes

Ten stages, under the same roof and in the order they happen. Each page says what is decided at that stage and what the shop needs in order to start.

  1. 01Illustration of the design engineering stageDesign engineeringFrom the designer's drawing to a drawing that can be produced: sections, thicknesses, joints and finish decided before the first tube is cut.
  2. 02Illustration of the prototyping and engineering stagePrototyping and engineeringThe first piece exists to be argued over: you look at it, measure it, change it. Then it becomes the rule for the whole run.
  3. 03Illustration of the packaging prototyping stagePackaging prototypingA piece finished well and packed badly arrives ruined. Packaging is designed and tested like the product itself.
  4. 04Illustration of the machining stageMachiningCutting, drilling, milling, turning, bending: the geometry of the piece takes shape here, and with it the quality of the surface that will be finished.
  5. 05Illustration of the welding stageWeldingJoining without it showing: on a visible piece, a good weld is one that, once dressed, no longer exists.
  6. 06Illustration of the burnishing and oxidation stageBurnishing and oxidationThe colour is born from a chemical reaction in the metal: it is not a layer laid on top, it is the surface itself changing.
  7. 07Illustration of the liquid painting stageLiquid paintingFrom the clear coat that protects a burnished surface to a marble effect drawn by hand: the liquid paint cycle closes almost every finish in the range.
  8. 08Illustration of the assembly stageAssemblyFinished components become the piece the client will see: assembly happens on already-finished surfaces, and nothing can be corrected any more.
  9. 09Illustration of the packaging stagePackagingThe final packaging is the one tested at prototype stage: materials compatible with the finish, pieces restrained, opening made obvious.
  10. 10Illustration of the shipping stageShippingDelivery is part of the order: agreed dates, the right vehicle for the piece, and documents that arrive with the goods.
