The Soft Side of Steel – driven from a blacksmith’s perspective with a tailor’s ideology

The ‘The Soft Side of Steel’ project is a research into fabrication processes and a study of material properties.

The Making of “Schwarzes Gold”

One material, one form – one story. To me, a product should not attract attention through overloaded design. Instead, it’s about the thought – the idea – coupled with intelligent design, which helps bring the product into existence.

The Art of Making a Nixie Tube

The nixie tube is a vintage display device which had been used until 70s when it was replaced with LED displays. The complex knowledge of manufacture of nixie tubes literally died with tube factory’s engineers, glassblowers and machine operators. I discovered nixie tubes in 2011 and since then, I’ve devoted all my time to studies of nixie tubes and its manufacturing processes. After years of intensive work, with help of many people, I eventually succeeded and have revived the knowledge and equipment for production of nixie tubes.
