Master Art Fabricator: Technical and Artistic Direction
The founder of art project, Patrick Ferragne, has been named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, an honorary distinction awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, in recognition of his longstanding commitment to artists and his active role in the French and international contemporary art scene .
A unique vision that we apply to every project, ensuring constant dialogue and an intimate understanding of the artistic challenges involved.
2,000 m² Art Fabrication Workshop & Production Facility
Spanning over 21,500 sq ft (2,000 m2), our production facility offers the industrial capacity for monumental art fabrication, while maintaining artisanal finesse.
Our strength lies in our integrated multi-material expertise. This organization into expert workshops allows us to transform materials in all their forms:
High-Precision Metalwork : Structural Art Fabrication
Construction of monumental structures and high-precision metalwork (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass).
Artisanal Neon Blowing and Light Engineering:
An integrated glass workshop for artisanal neon blowing, a technical rarity.
• Woodworking, Assembly & Finishing Workshop:
Carpentry, composite work, patinas, and dry assembly.
Technical synergy that guarantees the longevity of the works.
Global Art Fabrication Management & Logistics
For 25 years, art project has been deploying exceptional expertise and logistical mastery, enabling artists to free themselves from the constraints of engineering, manufacturing, transport, and installation, allowing them to devote themselves fully to their work.
Our approach incorporates a dedicated design office, ensuring the viability and sustainability of each project. We act as the technical conductor of your projects.
Our expertise covers the entire process:• Engineering & Design:
Feasibility studies, calculation notes, 3D modeling, and technical drawings.
Institutional Interface: Coordination and Project Monitoring
Technical and operational interface with museums, exhibition venues, and other professional bodies.
• Research & Development:
Sourcing materials and defining innovative processes adapted to the constraints of the work and the location.
High-End Art Fabrication:
Production of excellence in our workshops.

International Deployment & Export Logistics
Accustomed to the demands of major cultural institutions and international private commissions, we project our expertise far beyond our borders. Distance is not a constraint: we orchestrate the entire logistics chain to guarantee the integrity of the work, from the moment it leaves the workshop to its installation in London, New York, Riyadh, or Venice.
Our logistics division is well-versed in the specifics of exporting works of art:
Fine Art Logistics: Bespoke ISPM 15 Export Crating
In-house design and manufacture of custom-made transport crates (ISPM 15 stamped), suitable for air or sea freight and climatic variations.
• Customs Management & Transit:
Handling of complex administrative formalities (ATA carnets, temporary or permanent exports) and coordination with specialized freight forwarders.
Professional Installation: Global Site Supervision
Our technical teams travel worldwide to oversee the installation, assembly, and acceptance of the artwork, ensuring a finish identical to that approved in the workshop.
Technical and aesthetic integrity
More than just manufacturing, each piece produced by art project is the result of constant dialogue with the artist and their partners.
We draw on our technical expertise and attention to detail to bring your visions to life, even the most complex ones, remaining completely faithful to the original aesthetic and conceptual intentions.
