Understand the object and setting
Share photographs of the artwork and its intended location. Height, weight, dimensions, indoor or outdoor use and the surface beneath it affect a suitable solution. Tell us whether it needs anchoring.

A custom plinth for your sculpture
A plinth should support an object and give its form the right setting. We can discuss a bespoke metal base or fixing, including for an existing sculpture. Photographs and approximate dimensions are enough to start.

How does it work?
Shape and connection
Should the base recede or become part of the design? We discuss proportions, metal, surface and the connection to the object. Cast elements may be combined with forged or fabricated metalwork where appropriate.
Assess before making
Photographs, dimensions and a sketch or model help us explore the options. Load-bearing or outdoor installations need more detail. We then discuss design, production and a tailored proposal.

Frequently asked questions
What should I send?
Photographs of the sculpture and location, approximate size and weight, desired plinth height, indoor or outdoor use and any existing fixing. We can discuss unknown details together.
Can an existing sculpture have a new plinth?
We can assess it. The sculpture's condition, fixing, weight and ground surface determine a safe approach.
Is a photograph enough to begin?
Yes, for an initial discussion. A design and secure fixing usually require dimensions and further details.
What do you need for a useful price indication?
Send whatever you already have: a photograph, sketch, drawing, model or file. Dimensions, quantity, intended use and finish help us assess the production route. If anything is missing, we will ask you directly.
