Digitally shaped.Individually made.
Concept study A porous monolith in an alpine hall. Visualisation.
One studio.
Three ways in.
Built for ambitious spaces, artists and partners who value material clarity, authorship and a precise path from idea to installation.
- Original worksIndependent sculptures and spatial works, shaped from the KRAFTKERN perspective.
- Commissioned for your spaceA singular response to place, intent and architecture, developed around the way a space should feel.
- Made for artists and architectsYour vision, our making. Precise fabrication with respect for authorship, detail and ambition.
From digital form
to physical presence.
- BriefUnderstand the idea, site, purpose and parameters.
- DevelopShape the form and its spatial effect. Align scope and approvals.
- ValidateTest material, details, connections and samples before making.
- MakeFabricate the approved direction and document the build.
- FinishDevelop and control the surface against an agreed sample.
- InstallCoordinate delivery, installation and handover.

Rubi
Founder · Art & Creative Director · Media
Switzerland-based founder and creative director Benjamin Rubi has shaped visual worlds for Adriatique, Argy, Mrak and Afterlife. He is also the founder of mover.film and VSNZ Music / vsnz.ch. Now, he begins a new chapter with KRAFTKERN��bringing image-making, spatial thinking and sculpture together.
Follow the work@beni.rubiA form takes shape
through making.
From the digital sculpt to close views of fabrication and surface, each image follows the making of one sculptural form.
- Digital Study
Digital Form
The figure takes shape in the digital studio: full figure, close-up, orthographic views and wireframe of one flowing, porous body.
Discuss this study - Form Study
Sculptural Detail
A close view of the pale form reveals its layered surface and branching, sculptural contours during fabrication.
Discuss this study - Process study
Made in the Machine
The pale sculpture stands centered inside its enclosed fabrication machine, shown here at full scale.
Discuss this study - Surface Study
Surface Study
An intimate crop highlights the pale sculpture’s openings, layered contours, and soft transitions in light.
Discuss this study
Architectural scale.
Details agreed together.
Material, scale, finish and installation requirements are developed around each brief. Feasibility and tolerances are confirmed before production.
Design development
Align the digital model, material and surface with the brief.
Site coordination
Review access, dimensions and installation conditions together.
Samples & connections
Agree critical details and finish samples before making.
Handover
Define handling and care for the selected material and setting.
Bring us the idea that doesn't fit anywhere else.
A first conversation is enough: a clear brief, a space to transform, or only the beginning of a direction.
