  • advice
  • conceptual design
  • development
  • manufacturing
  • realization of large-scale projects
  • installations in multimedia and architectural contexts

Prototype

  • Selection of technologies and materials
  • CAD Design
  • CNC milling
  • Fast-house production

Electronics development

  • Schematic and Layout Design
  • sensor
  • wireless technology (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, ...)
  • Microcontroller Programming (ARM, AVR, ...)

From the conception of the initial idea to the implementation vierkant is a reliable partner for electronic components and systems. The bare essentials being our focal point, we develop solutions for industry, art and architecture. The team of engineers from various disciplines (mechanics, electronics, software, design) offers creative solutions for client projects delivered on time. In the implementation, we use the latest technology, high-quality materials and a timeless design. This is how objects are created which become reference points in their environment, with an intuitive appeal and a sustainable effect.

Products by vierkant

Objects developed by vierkant are usually produced as limited editions in small series due to the rarity of the original material. A vierkant object always and unmistakably reflects the philosophy of the team – reduced to the essentials, with timeless appeal and clear spatial presence. The objects are to be acquired directly from the vierkant studio. Please contact us for individual variations.
