who we are

A Studio-Led, Artist-Run Brand

At Lievik Atelier, we believe that metal is more than a material, it’s a language. Our studio is rooted in a deep respect for the ancient traditions of Indonesian metalworking, particularly from the Nusantara archipelago, while embracing the spirit of experimentation, material engineering, and contemporary design.

We shared dedication to process-driven craftsmanship and material exploration drives Lievik’s philosophy: to fuse function and form, honoring traditional blacksmithing while creating objects that reflect today’s design language.

Hi!

I'm Eldine

I started Lievik Atelier from a deep curiosity,  not just about objects, but about the process behind them. My background in Craft at Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) taught me how texture, form, and structure interact to create something both expressive and intentional. That same mindset shapes my approach to metalsmithing today.

To me, metal isn’t rigid, it’s a living material with attitude. I’m drawn to the contrast: the challenge of pushing something so hard and unyielding to behave in fluid, layered, almost fabric-like ways. That’s where my work begins, in the tension between softness and strength, between tradition and transformation.

Lievik is my space for experimentation, a studio where I can expose the raw potential of metal through process. I work by hand, slowly, intentionally, often letting the material lead. Sometimes it resists, and that resistance is part of the story.

I don't aim for perfection, I aim for character. Every piece carries the marks of its making, shaped by fire, force, and time.

This is what artisanal means to me: not decoration, but depth. A respect for tradition, yes, but with a desire to move it forward. I want Lievik’s work to feel honest. Rooted, but not stuck. Contemporary, but not trend-driven. Pieces with presence. Pieces with a pulse.

Hi !

I'm Radit

My journey into metal began through Interior Design at Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), but my real fascination has always been with how things are built,  tools, machines, structures. I’m drawn to the kind of design that’s not just about how something looks, but how it works. That led me to the world of metal engineering, toolmaking, and eventually blacksmithing.

At Lievik, I focus on metal artworks and functional objects rooted in structure, precision, and process-driven design. I treat each project like a system, exploring material behavior, testing limits, and working through each stage with intention.

For me, the process is not just a means to an end, it’s the art itself.

I’m also heavily influenced by my love for vintage automotive design and building cars like hot rods. There’s something beautiful about the exposed mechanics, the raw structure, the balance between function and form, the visible labor. That same spirit guides my approach to metal: to create pieces that are honest, engineered, and expressive.

Metal responds best to strength and logic, but it also holds emotion. My work fuses material engineering with a personal design sensibility, where even a hammer mark or weld line carries meaning. Whether I’m building a custom object, shaping a tool, or forging sculpture, I’m always chasing that moment where practicality meets presence, where a piece simply feels right.
