The craftsmanship and passion of zinc metalworking at the service of contemporary design.

Olivier JOANNIN designs and builds your specific titan-zinc garden furniture projects to mesure. Window boxes, flower pots, large tubs; ponds, fountains, cascades and mural water features, water walls, waterfall basin, water mirrors.

Your made to measure project will be hand crafted exclusively in France in our workshop located between Lyon and Geneva in the Ain region.

People no longer make the distinction between inside and outside. The garden is on a par with your house, it has become a fully integrated living area for any time of the day in any season. Zinc combines strength and durability whether it has a natural or antique finish , whether it be in a regal, contemporary or pure style .

Zinc is is extracted from sphalerite. It is a strong, durable, natural, totally recyclable material that evolves with time. Zinc is maintenance free, it resists harsh climate and weather conditions. (extreme cold, rain, UV light, salt.) It has a life span of several decades.

Beware of unscrupulous outlets who may sell you galvanised or zinc coated steel that has a very short life span.

Key in hand design and creation of titan-zinc garden furniture, 100% made in France.

Olivier JOANNIN shapes zinc, a material which has nowadays earned its spurs. He has a passion for his work and devotes a traditional, even ancient know-how to modern and contemporary design.

Custom manufacturing is carried out using traditional methods in our workshop in Ain between Lyon and Geneva.

We work mainly with landscaping architects, landscapers and interior designers; however each particular project retains our know-how.
