This breathtaking railing from Wiemann Metalcraft demonstrates the outstanding craftsmanship and creativity of everyone involved in the process. The intricate layers are eye-catching, and aptly evoke the project's name - Ribbon Railings - with their soft undulating design.
The ribbons were designed in CAD, and then cut by laser. Texture was applied cold using custom dies for the power hammer. And finally, on the Pullmax machine, the soft wave shapes of the ribbon were formed, again cold.
A large challenge that was expertly hurdled was mixing finishes and avoiding heat for forming and welding.
