“Hammer Bone” ｜ Arnd Christian Müller ｜ Fabrication Support: ODE

When German artist Arnd saw our polished metal work, the handcrafted welded hammers from his “Hammer Bone” series finally found the technical process needed to bring the concept into reality. Through mirror polishing and titanium coating on iron, these once functional construction tools were transformed into poetic sculptural objects.

“Hammer Bone” is one of Arnd’s representative series. By reclaiming handmade welded hammers from construction sites, he transforms rough industrial material into artworks with a precious-metal-like presence and luminosity. Through fine polishing and customized vacuum titanium coating, the ODE team preserved the forged textures and welding traces while achieving a balance between mirror reflection and the golden titanium nitride (TiN) finish.

Helping artists realize their ideas and imagination is one of the happiest and most meaningful things for the ODE team.
