A Metal Workshop That Builds Other People’s Drawings
Shengshijin Art develops and makes modern craft sculpture and antique craft decoration in metal. Research, production and sales sit in one company in Pingshan District, Shenzhen.
What the Company Does
The company focuses on metal as the base material. The work covers wall decoration, ornaments, sculptures and installations: large city sculpture, art features for high end buildings, art ornaments and wall decoration for hotels, exhibition hall decoration and pieces for interiors.
Why This Site Exists
This site was built to connect international designers with the workshop and to put the design value of artists and designers first. Designer copyright is respected. Customised works belonging to a designer are not published here, which is why the catalogue shows our own pieces rather than commissions. Artists from every field are welcome to bring work to be built.
What We Can Actually Do
Stainless steel is hand forged and welded from plate, with 304 as the standard grade, then ground and mirror polished or brushed. Copper and brass are cast for figurative pieces. Wrought iron is worked for a different kind of line. Colour comes from electroplating or baked lacquer, and a laser engraving machine handles lettering and pattern work. Because all of it happens in the same workshop, a set of pieces arrives matching rather than nearly matching.
How a Commission Runs
Technicians calculate the specific data of the formed steel plate before any steel is cut, so a piece can be made in any shape and the curvature and height can be any size to your requirement. Larger works are built as a scale model first. One documented project produced two mountain bodies with wolves, took more than half a year of production, and was installed on site.
Where the Work Happens
Laser Engraving in the Workshop
A laser engraving machine sits in the workshop, which is why lettering and pattern work on a piece does not have to go out to a third party and come back with a different finish.
Forging and Polishing Stainless Steel
Stainless steel work starts as flat plate. Technicians calculate the forming data for each panel, the plate is forged and welded into a hollow body, and the weld lines are dressed back before the surface is ground and polished.
Finished Pieces Before Crating
Polished faces are covered with protective film before anything is crated, because a mirror surface picks up every mark made during handling and site work.
