research
We reconstruct lost or inaccessible heritage objects at museum grade. We fuse archival photos, drawings, and texts with physically accurate 3D. Materials and mechanisms are modeled to documented standards. Each model carries transparent sources, version history, and a clear split between evidence and inference. Outputs fit research, exhibitions, risk-free display, and brand heritage. Delivery formats include web and AR where rights allow. Licensing and provenance are managed case by case.
We turn complex art history into practical skills. Courses, public talks, and workshops build visual literacy step by step. You learn to read imagery, map styles across periods, and understand materials and techniques. Sessions use originals and our reconstructions with guided comparisons. Cohort formats and certificates are available. Tailored sessions for museums, schools, and brands on request.
We work at the intersection of art history, digital humanities, and computer graphics. Our focus is method, validation, and ethics. We test pipelines, define quality metrics, and document decisions. Where rights permit, we publish datasets, protocols, and results. Partnerships with museums and universities ensure domain review and access to sources. The goal is reproducible reconstruction with measurable value for scholarship and display.

Many objects are lost, fragile, or inaccessible. Digital reconstruction restores context and enables safe study and display. It widens access for scholars, students, and the public. It preserves knowledge when originals cannot travel.
WHAT WE DO
Why we do it
We reconstruct museum-grade Fabergé objects from documented sources. We fuse archival photos, drawings, and texts with physically accurate 3D. We record sources, version history, and the line between evidence and inference. We deliver for web and AR where rights permit.
GOAL
WHAT WE NEED
Build a verified corpus of Fabergé digital objects. Establish a clear quality standard and transparent method. Support scholarship, exhibitions, and teaching. Create a foundation for partnerships and licensing.
Funding for archival work, image rights, 3D production, and infrastructure. Contributors who care about research and craft. Art historians, archivists, 3D artists, mechanism and materials specialists, editors, and IP counsel. Institutional partners with access to sources and collections.

GOOD TO KNOW
No. A reconstruction is assembled from sources: photos, drawings, descriptions, and measurements. Scanning captures geometry directly from an accessible object. If a scan exists, we use it as one source, but the final model still undergoes historical-technical validation.
Accuracy rests on verified data. In the model we mark what is evidence and what is inference, and assign a confidence level. We keep version history, conduct expert reviews, and update models as new information appears.
Yes. Licenses are available for research/education, exhibitions, and commercial use. Formats: glTF, USDZ, FBX on request. Submit a request via the form with purpose, venue, and timeline; source credit is mandatory.
