Physical objects, made properly.
An independent model-making and fabrication studio, working for architects, brands, agencies and artists since 2009.
Scales & Models was founded in 2009 to make the things a drawing or a render can't: objects people can walk around, pick up, photograph and remember.
Architecture practices come to us for presentation, planning and competition models. Brands and agencies come for window displays, campaign props and event pieces, and artists for sculptures and one-off commissions. Along the way we've made things for Google, Lexus, Harrods, Selfridges and Foster + Partners, and with artists including H.R. Giger.
Every project starts with what the piece has to do. Then we choose the mix of traditional craft (sculpting, moulding and casting, hand finishing) and digital fabrication (3D printing, CNC milling, laser cutting and 3D scanning) that gets it there. We design, engineer and make in-house, from the first sketch to the finished piece.
The result is work made to be looked at up close, handled and photographed, and finished properly.
