designing, building, loving beautiful machines

We design and develop beautiful pieces of transportation art. We select iconic machines (mostly vehicles like motorcycles, cars, buggies, airstreams, boats, velomobiles, etc) and we re-invent them...modern technology, enhanced aesthetics, rock-solid performance required for every day use. All our machines are limited runs  with a maximum of 10 per any given run. Our work has been included in museums, private collections, art galleries...but all of our work is designed and built for everyday use and enjoyment by everyday people.

Our company is NOT like the saturday morning auto shows you see on TV.  We are not customizing cars for NBA players.  We are not into "skull and crossbones," gear-headed tunnel vision, or sloppy raw horse power.  

We are much more interested in the elegance of minimalist design, the execution of system simplicity despite engineering complexity.  Our inspirations are the Wright Brothers, DiVince, Steve Jobs, Jonathan Ward of Icon4x4, Fritz Lang, and Ferdinand Porsche.  

Our clients are wealthy CEO's looking for a perfect and perfectly refined iconic motor-car without the fuss of vintage technology and engineering. For them price is not a barrier.  It is a measure of the quality, integrity, and expression of art in motion.  

Our clients are also youthful middle-managers willing to spend $10,000 on a unique interpretation of an iconic BMW Airhead - re-imagined, refined, and re-expressed in purest form by our design and engineering team.  We stay true to the history of our pieces while honoring the technological possibilities of today over the legacy-limitations of yesterday.  

Our design and engineering team is eclectic. From airplane engineers to graffiti artists, interaction designers to contemporary sculptors, metal masters to shoe cobblers . We share some binding beliefs that drive our work...We love metal in motion, love creating surprising-beauty from the aged ordinary, and love knowing our clients escape the ordinary every time they engage with our creations.

We are serious AND friendly. Helpful and inspired as well as useful and inspiring.  

bright lime green, red, black...but open to anything.
