About
Incredible things don’t just happen; they’re created, nurtured, believed in. Arts, culture, and creativity have always played a vital role in bringing people together. We continue this tradition with an enduring belief that creativity can inspire incredible possibilities.
Established in 1993, our modest Brisbane practice has evolved into a global art and design studio and workshop. Today, our network comprises three key studios and facilities in New York, Brisbane and Shanghai and eight worldwide satellite offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Los Angeles, Singapore, Sydney and Riyadh. In 2019, we acquired the 60-year-old foundry Polich Tallix, making UAP one of the biggest art manufacturing businesses in the world.
From the design studio to the factory floor, we work across all aspects of the creative process, from commissioning and curatorial services, concept development, and design assistance to engineering, fabrication, and installation. With an ingrained culture of collaboration, our diverse team of creative specialists, strategists and practitioners share an enduring vision for the future.
By pairing exceptional strategies and manufacturing capabilities with our team’s unrivalled dedication to excellence, we ensure that our generation creates timeless and relevant objects, ideas, and places to inspire and connect people for future generations. This is the common ground on which we move forward as a company.
