BORN IN FIRE
TVB3 Dezigns is not a studio. It is a foundry — a single practitioner, a single process, and an absolute commitment to the lost wax method.
The Founder
TVB3
Founder & Master Caster
TVB3 came to metalwork the hard way — through years of failed pours, cracked molds, and ruined wax. Every mistake was a lesson the fire taught directly. There were no shortcuts and no instructors. Just the crucible, the kiln, and the work.
The lost wax process became an obsession because of what it demands: total commitment. The wax form is destroyed in the making of the cast. There is no going back, no second version, no revision. You either get it right or you start over. That irreversibility is what makes the work honest.
TVB3 Dezigns produces a limited number of pieces each year. Every edition is finite. When the run closes, it closes permanently. No reprints. No reproductions. Only the original cast.
Foundry Philosophy
THE WORK IS THE PROOF
Irreversibility
The wax is destroyed. The mold is broken. The pour happens once. Every decision made in the process is permanent — and that permanence is what gives the work its weight.
Limitation
Every edition is capped before the first pour. Scarcity is not a marketing strategy — it is a structural commitment to the integrity of each piece. When the run closes, it closes forever.
Process Visibility
Nothing is done to hide the process. Sprue marks, investment texture, oxidation — these are left visible. The history of how the piece was made is part of the piece itself.
Hand Over Machine
No CNC. No digital modeling. No casting from 3D prints. Every form begins in wax, worked by hand. The imprecision of the hand is not a flaw — it is the signature.
