Monumental Labs

Just before leaving Stripe I commissioned a final project. We produced a 6ft marble homage to the expiring Stripe test credit card (4242 on 4/24/24) in just under a month. Cool to see it land in Bloomberg today: https://lnkd.in/eQX8cXU4. "A commission by Stripe to commemorate the expiration of their test card on 4/24/24. The piece features a kneeling figure grimacing in agony, clutching a Stripe credit card, surrounded by ribbons in the style of Stripe's wave motif. The figure draws inspiration from Michelangelo's Dying Slave. It was designed, robotically milled, and hand finished in under a month by Monumental Labs in New York."

We're hiring! Our most critical role right now is for a digital fabrication lead. Artists, architects, and engineers with 3D fabrication experience should reach out. We're growing fast and taking on some crazy projects. https://lnkd.in/eFhvCWBm

Stone arrived! From Italy, Portugal and Utah. Lots to carve this winter.

The work continues

The turn…

Mondays are for making logos in marble.

Monumental Labs was featured in Slate! "For Springut, robots will make our construction, ironically, more human. “What if we could build in a style where there was ornament, texture, motifs from our lives, all that stuff that disappeared when we mechanized our construction industry?” he asked me. What if, indeed. Springut is not after just restoration and replication. Perhaps his robots will unleash architectural possibility—imagine buildings adorned with sculptural Bitcoins, GMO corn, computer chips, and other symbols of modern wealth creation, intriguing passersby and leaving a legacy for future generations." https://lnkd.in/e4XJrsPk
