Drawn, modelled, and resolved in metal.
GIAAN documents the full arc of design — from first pencil line to cast form. The drawings and wax models are not hidden steps; they are part of what you commission.
The prototype is where the design gets decided.
Every commission begins with iteration on paper — multiple drawing passes before any wax is touched. The sketch is not a preview; it is an argument the piece has to win before it earns the lathe.
Wax prototyping is non-negotiable. Form, proportion, and setting geometry are resolved in the model — not approximated and corrected in metal after casting.
Nothing is hidden from the process.
GIAAN shares drawings, wax models, and finished pieces as a continuous record. Knowing how a piece was reasoned through is part of understanding what it is.
Commissions are open to the full sequence — clients review drawing iterations and sign off on the wax model before any metal is poured.
If the thinking behind a piece matters as much as the piece itself, GIAAN's work is worth examining closely.
