CASE NOTES
I met Moxon at a show in London. After some conversation, we agreed to work together on something new — a lighter-weight version of an existing piece he wanted to take to market.
The piece was made from solid surface, shaped and engraved by hand, then finished in 24 carat gold leaf. The engraving and the gold leafing were done in house, every detail worked by hand.
The plinth was made from Corian with his logo 3D printed directly onto the base. The finished sculpture was then presented in a custom made box and shipped down to him in London.
