Ambitious ideas.
Made physical.
LostMachine Design works with artists, designers and organizations to turn ambitious ideas into physical objects and large-scale installations. From concept development and 3D modeling through fabrication, logistics and installation.
LostMachine Design
Art and fabrication are interconnected disciplines.
LostMachine works at the intersection of art, design, engineering and fabrication. A project may arrive as a finished 3D model, a rendering, a difficult technical problem, or an idea that still needs to become an object.
The role changes with the project. The objective does not: understand the intent, understand the material and process, and develop a practical path from concept to finished work.

Services
From napkin sketch to installation.
Artist Fabrication
Fabrication for artists and studios with clear respect for authorship and design intent.
Art & Design Development
Developing ideas, sketches and design briefs into resolved physical work.
Technical Development
3D CAD, mechanical design, prototyping, kinetic systems and design for fabrication and assembly.
Project Delivery
Custom fabrication, project management, logistics and installation.
Process
Understanding what a material can do informs what can be imagined with it.
LostMachine combines an engineering background with hands-on fabrication experience. Machining, welding, digital fabrication, mechanical systems, lighting, controls and mixed materials can be developed together rather than handed from one discipline to another.
