Hand-fitting marble pieces at the bench in the Art Inlay atelier, Jiangmen
The Atelier · Jiangmen, Guangdong

A drawing office
with a factory attached.

Founded in 2008, the atelier houses the drawing floor, the waterjet hall and the fitting benches under one roof — so the person who drew your cartoon can stand beside the machine that cuts it.

01The cartoon

Drawn one to one, before any stone is cut.

Every commission begins as a cartoon at full size on the atelier floor. The drawing is where proportions are settled, veins are chosen, and the client’s architect signs off — not on a rendering, but on the thing itself, at the scale it will be walked on.

02The cut

Cut to a tenth of a millimetre.

Approved cartoons become cut plans, and cut plans drive multi-axis waterjets. Each piece is cut to ±0.1mm, numbered against the plan, and checked against its neighbours before it leaves the machine bed.

03The bench

Closed by hand, until the joint reads as a line.

Machines get to a tenth of a millimetre; the last fraction is judgment. At the bench, each piece is eased against its neighbour until the joint disappears into the drawing. Then the whole field is dry-assembled, photographed, numbered and crated.

The drawing and the stone

One is a promise. The other keeps it.
