A conscious factory

Wire Art, aesthetics and durability

Wire Art Switzerland was born in 2017 and is nestled on the ridges of the Balcon du Jura Vaudois, in Sainte-Croix, a historic center for precision mechanics. Sylvie Villa and Mark Miehlbradt have set up shop in the renovated family farmhouse.

Our history

Sylvie and Mark

Both trained as microtechnology and microelectronics engineers, we are developing the project of giving a second life to bonding machines, the linchpins of microelectronics (soldering the gold wires that connect the legs of integrated circuits), by offering them an artistic end to their careers. Because micro-technology is constantly evolving, these industrial machines are rapidly becoming obsolete, as they are no longer sufficiently fast or profitable. We upgrade them by diverting their original, purely technical soldering function and manufacturing works "woven" from pure 24-carat gold wires. The orientation and interlacing of 25-micron gold wires enable complex patterns to be created, which are then constructed from multiple reflective facets, and come to life through the movement and play of light. These processes are patented and therefore exclusive to Wire Art Switzerland.

This technology is particularly well-suited to the watchmaking industry, where it brings dials and movement elements to life, and to the jewelry industry, where it creates delicate, elegant ornaments. But the applications are endless! Throughout history, craftsmen and artists have manufactured precious metals. Whether inherited from civilizations or religions, these works remain timeless. Even today, you can mark the occasion of a special event in an elegant, sustainable and responsible way, whether it's a wedding or corporate gift, an artistic, cultural or sporting award, a family heirloom to which you wish to contribute, or simply to treat yourself to the pleasure of a unique piece.

Wire Art Switzerland proudly offers Swiss production on its own premises, exclusive patented processes and project completion within 2 to 4 weeks.
