About UAP
UAP believes that incredible things do not just happen; they are created, nurtured and believed in. Arts, culture, and creativity have always played a vital role in bringing people together. UAP continues this tradition with an enduring belief that creativity can inspire incredible possibilities.
Established in 1993 by brothers Matt and Dan Tobin, their modest Brisbane practice has evolved into a global art and design studio and workshop. In August 2019, UAP acquired the 60-year old foundry, Polih Tallix, making UAP one of the most significant art foundries in the world. Its network comprises three key studios and facilities in New York, Brisbane, and Shanghai, and seven worldwide satellite offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Singapore, Sydney, and Riyadh.
From the design studio to the factory floor, UAP works across all aspects of the creative process. From commissioning and curatorial services, concept development, and design assistance to engineering, fabrication, and installation. Its diverse team of creative specialists, strategists, and practitioners share an enduring vision for the future with an ingrained culture of collaboration. By pairing exceptional strategies and manufacturing capabilities with the team’s unrivaled dedication to excellence, UAP ensures that our generation creates timeless and relevant objects, ideas, and places that will inspire and connect people for generations to come.
