Vector to metal / material study 01

Explore an idea in metal.

Start with one of 74 exact catalogue vectors, then study it across architectural metals, bronzed tones, raised finishes and scales. Original geometry is retained throughout.

Geometric Pattern - 5 uses line weight and direction to test brushed grain, grazing light and variable etch depth.

From phototool to finished surface

The vector is only the beginning.

Slide between clean production artwork and the same geometry realised in etched brass. Scale, metal tone and raised finish turn a repeat into an architectural material.

Manufacturing-ready vector
Process
Chemical etching to approved production depth

A starting geometry, not a finished ornament

Use it. Adapt it. Or bring your own project narrative.

Every study is a technical demonstration of scale, line, material tone and finish. Final artwork is reviewed for minimum feature widths, retained-metal strength and suitable etching depth before manufacture.
