Six steps from first brief to a moving work on site — the same process behind the corporate atrium delivered in 14 weeks, and behind every gallery series since.
01
Brief
Share scope, site and timeline through the project brief. Any works you have shortlisted are attached to it.
02
Site survey
We work from your site drawings and check power, anchoring points and transport access before anything is built.
03
Design & engineering
Material testing and a structure designed around its loads, reviewed and approved with you before fabrication begins.
04
Fabrication
Serviceable assemblies built in the New Delhi studio — mechanisms designed to be opened, checked and repaired.
05
Installation
Transport and rigging support, on-site installation and commissioning of the motion system.
06
Service
Maintenance guidance, a replacement-parts plan and a post-installation review, so the work keeps moving.
About the Studio
Industrial materials,
kinetic poetry.
From its workshop in New Delhi, Hookkapaani works at the meeting point of industrial fabrication and artistic expression. We work with steel, bronze, aluminium and found materials to create sculptures that move, breathe and evolve. Each piece is a dialogue between mechanical precision and organic fluidity — a celebration of raw material, honest construction and the passage of time.
