We are a unique London based design and model making agency.

We have built long standing relationships with some of the world’s biggest companies by making sure that everything we do is exciting, engaging and completely bespoke to their needs.

At every stage of a project, from idea generation, right through to the final production, our clients have complete confidence in us, not only to communicate their message but to ultimately deliver them something exceptional.

Our team consists of the most creative, considered and outcome-driven professionals and by surrounding them with in-house production facilities and a continuous investment in the latest 3D technologies such as 3D printing, 3D scanning, laser cutting and CNC milling. This means that no matter what the idea, everything is possible.

Chalk's team were also able to offer solutions for any design issues that cropped up, but most importantly for us (as a startup), they were able to deliver the prototypes we required in a very short amount of time, with (usually) very little notice.
Omer El Fakir - Blocks Modular Smartwatch
A very professional and thorough service is always provided, often going beyond what is expected.
Stephen Ward - Pilbrow and Partners Architects
Their expertise and enthusiasm helped drive the project forward, and has so far led to a publication and a lot of interest from other researchers.
Luzia Troebinger - Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging
It was a pleasure working with chalk to produce our 3D-printed letterpress font. Their meticulous approach and professionalism were both reassuring and inspiring.
Richard Ardagh - New North Press
They are driven by new challenges and love to innovate - it has been a pleasure working with them and I hope our relationship will continue long into the future.
Prof. Gareth Barnes - Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging
We went to chalk with a potential idea for a large global pitch, asking them to look at our idea and come back with something tangible. The team were extremely efficient, and came back to us quickly on how we could manufacture our product, how long this would take and a cost quote.
Crissy Sealy - OMD, Omnicom Media Group
