WHEN IRON IS A PASSION

WHEN IRON IS A PASSION
What people wrote about us...
“From the very beginning of my cooperation with you, I realized very quickly that order at any cost was not your priority. In a short time, a natural symbiosis between the supplier and the client was created, which was in the spirit of mutual assistance and a positive exchange of views. It is only because of this that we have reached a common goal. I have convinced myself that the long-term utility, quality, and design are the first thing for you. Therefore, whenever I need an exceptional forged accessory, I contact the UKOVMI Company. After the third order, I was interested to visit the company and see the production. I want to be surrounded by unique accessories and appreciate the added value of working with you – I create the accessory with your help by myself. The distance between the production and the place of realization is of no importance. Although more expensive orders are not made at the same time, I can count on your business to be here in ten years. You make products that have spirit and tradition. Working with iron is one of the first important crafts and therefore deserves respect.” Raymond Kopka, Head of Private Banking Department at UnicreditBank

The studio is engaged in the production of exclusive exterior and interior furniture and accessories, each of which is an original.

The workshop also specializes in the creation, design, and reconstruction of the period and stylish works, entrance gates, balconies, railings, and grilles.
References on the website of the company show that the production of the studio is not only functional and useful goods but above all an artistic jewel that is not subject to fashion waves. Each order is a challenge for the studio to capture or complete the client's image, style, and feel. Delivery time is 4 – 8 weeks from the date of a binding order or by agreement. Cooperation with the client is based on a personal consultation, based on which his or her requirements are the basis for the design. – The clients of the studio are not only from Slovakia but also from abroad.
