MUSICAL MURAL WAVE
Wavrecraft is the brainchild of a passionate young Swiss watchmaker (who graduated with honors from his training course) and sound engineer, Arthur Meier. His unique sculptures materialize the sound wave chosen by the customer (such as a tune or simply the words ‘I love you’) which is then expressed in volume and stylized to create an original and meaningful decoration.
