Each piece is built with durable materials and museum‑grade finishing, making our work suitable for long‑term exhibitions and research collections.

Question 3

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We collaborate with museums, universities, researchers, exhibition makers and private collectors.

Question 4

Do you offer custom work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every reconstruction, restoration or replica is custom‑made based on the available material, scientific context and the needs of the exhibition or collection.

Question 5

Can I visit your atelier?

Accepted Answer

Visits are possible by appointment, depending on ongoing projects and safety requirements.

Question 6

How do I start a project with you?

Accepted Answer

Simply contact us with your idea, available material or reference photos. We will help you explore the best solution for your exhibition, collection or research project.

Question 7

How does a project begin?

Accepted Answer

Every project starts with an initial conversation about your goals, available material and the story the piece needs to tell. Based on this, we outline the scope, requirements and possible approaches.

Question 8

Can you work from existing fossils, scans or reference material?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can work with existing fossil material, casts, 3D scans, photographs, scientific publications. The more reliable the source material, the more accurately we can reconstruct the final piece.

Question 9

Can you restore or reconstruct damaged specimens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can help restore damaged elements, reconstruct missing parts and improve the presentation of existing pieces. The approach depends on the condition of the material, the desired accuracy and the final display purpose.

Question 10

Do you create skeletal mounts and armatures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design and build custom steel armatures for both fossils and replicas, ensuring safe support and dynamic presentation.

Question 11

How do you determine the pose of a skeleton or reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

The pose is based on anatomical research, visual impact and practical feasibility. We look at movement, available scientific data, stability, display height and how visitors will experience the object.

Question 12

How long does a project take?

Accepted Answer

The timeline depends on the scale, complexity, available reference material and required finish. Smaller pieces may take several weeks, while full skeletal reconstructions can take several months — sometimes up to a year.
