In The Works at Ion Art: Mettle

In The Works at Ion Art: Mettle

METTLE is a highly-anticipated restaurant opening in East Austin this summer. When we learned of their concept, we were more than excited to work with them to create the custom metalwork they had imagined for their establishment. Ion Art collaborated with the owners and designers to create and fabricate unique metal walls, lighting, signage and an unforgetable sculptural center peice that will also be used as a bench for their future patrons and foodies to lounge and enjoy a cocktail or two. We can't wait to sample what will certainly be one of the best new menus in Austin...and admire our handywork, of course! Learn more about METTLE on their website: http://mettleaustin.com/
