About Us
As a small team of creatives, we honestly love the work we do. From our Brisbane-based studio, our mission is to create beautiful laser cut decorative metal screens which inspire people to reflect, ignite conversations, admire the beauty and ultimately, enhance the space in which they live, study and work, through distinctively different, drool-worthy designs.
We listen. We create. We deliver. We thrive on your stories and we look to strategically create solutions which go above and beyond your expectations.
MEET THE URBAN METAL TEAM
DEB BAUER
FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
At the head of the Urban Metal team is our Founder and Creative Director, Deborah Bauer.
As a designer with over 17-years experience in the industry and a passion for art, design and architecture, Deborah’s mission for Urban Metal is to make a difference by enhancing experience through intentional design, elevating spaces to bring people together.
Deb is a big picture thinker, loves taking ideas outside of the box and is a huge advocate for active design—the creation of people-focussed spaces which are intentionally designed to promote wellness of the mind and body.
STEFAN
CAD DESIGNER
I love to hike and to take long walks outdoors, sticking my nose into mycology at an amateur level, in these walks (studying and identifying wild mushrooms).
Big fan of old school classic rock. Very meticulous, I like to have things sorted and in order. I don’t like cold, windy, grey and short winter days. I don’t like winter.
PAUL
INSTALLER
Paul has been installing decorative screens with our team since 2008. He’s a builder and plasterer by trade and his knowledge and skills are top shelf and invaluable to our team.
Sportsman, family man and all round good guy, Paul is calm on the tools, and VERY competitive on the football field, volleyball court and tennis court. Passionately dislikes butter.
JOE
Installer
Joe joined the Urban Metal install team in 2018 and what a great addition he has been. A man of all trades, with a background in tiling and landscape construction, Joe is a perfectionist at heart.
Another talented sportsman in the UM team, Joe loves his football, plays competitively and is a passionate football coach. The team who play together, work well together.
FUN FACT: Joe, Paul, Olaf and Deb all played (social) football on the same team for several years.
Hamish Morrow
ARTIST
Hamish is a Brisbane based artist who joined the Urban Metal team in 2022. Hamish’s speciality lies in his ability to turn an idea into reality with a passion for custom projects, loving to work on projects with rich narratives that require in depth thought and research to turn a story into an aesthetic embodiment of the customer and the space. Consequently, his style is adaptive and versatile; however recently his own designs have ascended to abstract lengths often creating laser cuttings that appear as an illusion from various angles. These screen designs are perfect for towering skyscrapers and commercial properties.
Our Why
Our greater goal is a society where people feel connected, seen and heard. We play our small part by designing with intention, visually communicating stories and working collaboratively. We want people to experience space, rather than just passing through it.
By collaborating with architects and designers, and by linking customers and builders directly with manufacturers, we create projects which are not only iconic in nature, on budget but they’re also doing good for the planet.
