Monumental sculpture by Lumier

03 · Commissioned works

Art created
for its space.

Every commission begins with dialogue.

Each project begins with an analysis of the client’s vision, the intended purpose of the work and the defining qualities of its setting. The result is not a decorative object, but an artwork designed to establish a lasting relationship with its environment.

The making process

How the
artwork is made.

  1. 01

    Client vision and analysis of the setting

    The process begins with listening: purpose, setting, light, scale and the client’s identity establish the field of research.

  2. 02

    Creation of the sketch and study of form

    The initial dialogue takes shape through drawing, as proportions, volumes and the relationship with the setting begin to emerge.

    Definition of materials, dimensions and proportions

    Steel, metals, surfaces and finishes are selected in relation to form, light and the defining qualities of the intended setting.

    Fabrication, working and finishing of the artwork

    The designed form takes physical shape in the workshop through cutting, welding, grinding, assembly and the hand-finishing of steel.

    Transport, placement and installation in the space

    The artwork is placed in the setting for which it was conceived, considering light, viewpoints and its dialogue with the architecture.
