Dust regularly and wipe with a damp cloth and clean water. For deeper cleaning, use only Rubio Monocoat Soap or Surface Care Spray, no more than about once a week, and wipe up spills promptly. Every 3 to 5 years on average, sooner with heavy use, refresh the finish with Rubio Monocoat Renew.

Concept development, CAD and technical drawings, prototyping, vendor sourcing, and production oversight. I will help you take an idea from the first sketch to the finished object. I’m open to working with small studios or larger brands on projects.

The studio is based in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Local delivery and installation are available in the Bay Area and Los Angeles Metropolitan area. Smaller items can ship domestically, and large pieces are quoted individually for shipment.
