Fabrication and connection details
Fabrication drawings specify sections, welds, corners and fixing points. These are reviewed alongside the surface treatment and installation sequence. Where a hotel project uses many identical items, agreeing dimensions and finishes through samples supports consistency in production.

Bespoke furniture and accessories
Table supports, shelving, frames and decorative pieces can be considered around the project dimensions. Their use, contact points and relationship with other components inform the detailing. Even where a slim appearance is intended, connections and support requirements still need a considered solution.
Surface and colour decisions
Sheen, texture and tone are perceived under the lighting of the space. The same colour description may look different across materials or finishing processes. Samples help establish a clearer finish reference. Cleaning methods and frequency of contact should also be considered during selection.
Interfaces and installation
Metal components may connect to walls, floors or other furniture. Substrate characteristics, installation access and visible fixings affect the solution. Elements meeting timber and stone need coordinated tolerances and assembly sequences to reduce the need for later intervention in completed finishes.
Project stages
Scope, approval stages and the installation programme are defined for each project.

Products and dimensions
Establish use, dimensions, location and relationships with adjacent materials.
Material selection
Review metal type, finish expectations and required performance together.
Connection details
Translate corners, junctions and fixings into manufacturing details.
Installation planning
Review supporting surfaces, access and the sequence of surrounding work on site.
Technical considerations
Metal specifications and finishes
A gold or bronze-coloured surface does not establish the underlying metal or finishing process. A visual reference and a technical material specification serve different purposes. Defining the metal, finish, connections and use environment creates a clearer brief. Elements with a structural or load-bearing role require separate consideration of their engineering requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What types of metal products does ARTMİM manufacture?
ARTMİM manufactures bespoke interior metal furniture and accessories, with capabilities including stainless steel and wrought iron. Materials, dimensions and installation scope for a particular item are reviewed through its project details.
Can a reference photograph serve as a metalwork specification?
A photograph can communicate a design direction, but does not establish metal type, sections, finishes or connections. Drawings and samples are needed to complete the information required for manufacturing.
Can metal be combined with timber or marble?
These materials can be considered within the same furniture piece or interior detail. Weight, fixing, contact surfaces and installation sequence need coordination. ARTMİM’s in-house disciplines support the review of these shared interfaces.
What information is needed for a metalwork enquiry?
Dimensioned drawings, quantities, location, material and finish expectations are useful starting points. Fixing positions, support requirements and site access help define a proposal around installation conditions as well as appearance.
