The Ballot

Vote for what we make next.

Every candidate here is in the public domain, legal to produce, and backed by a museum-grade 3D scan already on file, so the atelier starts from real geometry. Vote with your email; when a piece reaches its threshold, the atelier takes it up, and everyone who voted is first to be offered it. Or back a piece as a Mecenas: a 50 USD contribution that counts as five votes and helps carry the piece toward production, however long that takes. As a thank you, every backing is applied in full to your founders' price when the piece is made. Don't see the piece you want? Propose it below.
