GIFTS FOR ARCHITECTS AND ARCHITECTURE LOVERS
When you need a gift for an architect, a design student, or someone who simply can't stop noticing buildings, this is the right place to start.
Sixteen buildings. Sixteen very different ideas about what architecture can be. A hand-picked selection drawn from across the full Chisel & Mouse range — chosen to show the breadth of what we make and the depth of craft that goes into each piece. You don't need to know the names to choose well; but the person you're giving it to almost certainly will. From the monumental geometry of the Pantheon to the streamlined Art Deco swagger of the Hoover Building; from Goldfinger's Trellick Tower to Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye — these are buildings that changed the way people thought about space, structure and beauty.
Each model is cast in fine plaster and finished by hand in our studio. The process begins with rigorous digital modelling from architectural drawings, and ends with the traditional techniques of casting, painting and hand finishing. The result is a handmade piece designed to be displayed, collected and kept — an architecture gift worth giving.
