At MDM, we believe in people and have grown through attention to detail, ingenuity, creativity, a love of craft, and customer trust. We utilize the latest technology to complement our traditional hand skills. We encourage client visits to our workshops, allowing them to observe their commissions being made or seek advice on realizing their ideas. Some clients enjoy collaborating with our skilled makers, as art rarely starts as a fully formed concept, and fabrication can be part of the creative journey.

The MDM Story

Founded in 1993, MDM has pioneered sculpting and prop creation for entertainment and attractions, crafting worldwide pieces for leading artists and brands like Harry Hill, Vic Reeves, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Founded by artists with a passion for making, the company quickly emerged as the UK's market-leading creative workshop, transforming imaginative concepts into tangible experiences.

1995

In 1995, MDM was commissioned by Damien Hirst to create an oversized ashtray, a project that introduced the company to a new generation of British artists and galleries. MDM's ability to blend traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques and materials, combined with a willingness to experiment and find creative solutions, attracted international attention. This led to a growing global clientele across Europe and the Americas, eventually paving the way for expansion into the Middle East.

2008

In 2008, MDM's diverse skillset and experience allowed the company to navigate the recession and identify new opportunities in high-end retail, luxury brands, and the premium cruise ship industry. The company's flexibility and creativity have enabled it to continue pursuing its passion and maintain the highest standards of quality.

2015

To accommodate its growing needs, MDM relocated to a 52,000 sq ft facility in Greenwich, London, in 2015. This move enabled the company to undertake increasingly complex and large-scale projects.

2024

In 2024, MDM expanded into the MENA region. Our Dubai office, located in the Design District, collaborates with fabrication facilities in Beirut, including a foundry, to offer clients access to the region's finest craftsmanship and technological advancements. With a deep understanding of the entire production process, from drawing and manufacture to installed product installation, we are committed to delivering exceptional projects.
