Craft Meets Technology

While Capital Models was founded on traditional skills, we've never stopped evolving. In 2000, we purchased our first laser cutter, a decision that not only expanded our technical capabilities but ultimately led to the establishment of sister company Swordfish Works, our dedicated laser cutting and CNC brand.

What began as a single machine grew into a multi-machine setup featuring advanced laser cutters and a 3-axis CNC machine. With this expansion, we've began supporting an even broader spectrum of Shoreditch’s creative community, from artists producing intricate installations to designers crafting bespoke jewellery, furniture, signage, or experimental structures.

A Creative Anchor in a Creative District

Shoreditch has long been a magnet for experimenters and makers, people who push visual and structural boundaries. In this energetic environment, Capital Models plays a crucial role.

Our workshop, situated in the thriving community hub called Perseverance Works, offers something invaluable to the area’s creatives: a place where imagination, technical expertise and practical collaboration meet.

Whether it’s helping refine a concept, advising on materials, or problem-solving complex structures, our team welcomes clients into the process, turning projects into shared creative journeys.

A Workshop Built on Relationships

Capital Models operate with core values: discretion, integrity, craftsmanship and collaboration.

While only a small fraction of our projects appear publicly, due to the sensitive nature of many commissions, our influence can be traced across the city in architectural models, art pieces, prototypes, graffiti murals and installations.

Services include:
• Consultancy and technical guidance
• Traditional model making and specialist craft techniques
• Laser cutting and CNC machining
• Repairs, updates, and restoration
• Lighting integration
• A full workshop with multiple disciplines under one roof

Clients know they can drop in, discuss ideas, refine approaches, and see their projects evolve in real time. This hands-on interaction has created long-lasting relationships, some of which have endured since our company’s early days.
