Production drawings for custom chandeliers, in one week.

In 2021 Schonbek's custom chandelier division needed engineering help during its ramp-up. We turned decorative designs into manufacturable welded assemblies with production-ready documentation.

The brief

Decorative designs, real manufacturing.

Every custom chandelier is a one-off with detailed decorative requirements. The division needed drawings its shop could build from, fast, while it scaled up.

What we did

How we approached it.

Design detailing

We translated decorative requirements into welded assemblies the shop could manufacture.

Drawing standards

We built internal drawing templates and tools so every package followed the same standard.

An 18 ft chandelier

For one of the most technical pieces, we produced engineering and assembly drawings plus a detailed BOM of custom and off-the-shelf parts.

Shop coordination

We worked with manufacturing to meet internal standards through the ramp-up.
