ARC corten fireplace in the Southern Alps

The Studio

Drawn in studio.
Made by hand.

We started ARC to make the pieces architects kept drawing but couldn't source.

Every ARC piece begins as a drawing. Proportion, line and shadow resolved on paper before a sheet is cut. From there it moves to the floor of Bromley Steel, where it is folded, welded and ground by the same hands that build commercial structures across the South Island.

The result is metalwork with the soul of a studio and the certainty of an engineering shop, made to outlast the house it sits beside.
