Metal forming & fabrication
Cutting, machining and welding translate profiles, dimensions and connections into components.
Craft & quality
Considered design.
Careful making.
The curve of metal, the feel of a finish, the fit between components: these details define a luminaire. DM connects design development with fabrication, carrying the proportions and details of a drawing into the finished piece.

Craft & quality
From material
to a place in the space.
Form, finish and structure are connected decisions. Each choice in the workshop returns to the design intent and the conditions on site.
Surfaces & finishing
Grinding, polishing and finish selection bring colour, texture and edge details into a coherent whole.
Structure & assembly
Components, light sources, drivers and mounting details are considered together, connecting the form of the piece with its use on site.
Quality & Craftsmanship
Quality in the details that matter.
Every project has its own requirements. Recording the important details in drawings, samples and configuration schedules gives designers, makers and site teams a common reference.
Proportion & scale
Dimensions, suspension height, component spacing and the surrounding space.
Materials & finishes
Material, colour and texture, checked against the agreed sample.
Light & control
The compatibility of light source, colour temperature, driver and dimming configuration.
Assembly & installation
Connections, fixings, maintenance access and installation interfaces.
Project coordination
Resolve the details
before they reach site.
Organise drawings, samples and technical information around each project stage, so the next team has a clear basis to work from.
Drawings & site conditions
Review dimensions, quantities, suspension positions and fixings alongside the interior construction details.
Samples & finish references
Agree materials, colours and key forms within the project programme to reduce revisions after production begins.
Light & technical configuration
Define optical, electrical and control requirements; coordinate testing and certification for the destination market.
Packing & site coordination
Discuss packing, assembly and site support around the product structure and transport conditions.
Made for your project.
Prepared for its destination.
Certification requirements depend on the product configuration and destination market. We can coordinate project-specific testing and certification, with scope, cost and timing agreed before production.
