Ampersand: The Making Of

The beautiful and unique Ugmonk Premium Ampersand is now available for you to own. Each 18-inch tall ampersand balances effortlessly on a hand-buffed stainless steel plate thanks to a super-strong magnet hidden in its base. The hand-finishing process and natural woodgrain make each ampersand a one of a kind art piece.

Creating each ampersand is an intricate process. We thought you might enjoy seeing them come to life as they are crafted right here in Downingtown, PA, so we filmed some behind the scenes footage. Each ampersand is custom cut, sanded, hand-stained and laquered, and shipped in custom packaging to assure safe delivery.
