02 / BESPOKE COMMISSIONS

A work that belongs
to your place.

01

Public places

A landmark, a gathering point, a work that becomes part of a community’s shared landscape.

02

Private spaces

A personal idea translated into a distinctive sculptural presence for a garden, home or collection.

03

Built environments

Sculpture conceived in conversation with architecture, landscape, scale and the people who use a space.

03 / THE APPROACH

Artist’s eye.
Fabricator’s hands.

Jai’s practice draws on a background in fitting, machining and metal fabrication. Sacred geometry, reclaimed materials and large-scale public work shape an approach that brings artistic intent into the realities of making.

01

Start with the intention.

Tell us about the idea, the place and what the work should communicate.

02

Give the idea a form.

Explore a concept in 3D. Develop proportion, gesture, scale and material direction.

03

Develop it with Jai.

Submit the brief, references and model. Jai reviews the artistic direction and takes the project into detailed design.

THE COMMISSION STUDIO

Your idea.
A place to begin.

You don’t need a finished design. Bring an idea, a photograph or simply a feeling. The studio helps turn it into a useful conversation.
