Forged from what cars leave behind

Ghstal Arts is a small metalworking studio that turns reclaimed automotive scrap into clocks, paperweights, chairs and guitars.

Ghstal Arts began with a simple question: what becomes of the parts that leave a vehicle for good? Pistons, gears, bearing housings and clock faces were pulled from the scrap stream and kept in the studio until they could be shaped into something to live with. Each piece is sorted, cleaned, measured and reworked by hand.

Today the range spans piston and wall clocks, paperweights, chair designs and guitars. Every finished object keeps visible traces of its earlier life, so the material history stays part of the work.

We divert salvage components from scrap yards to build durable, functional interior art. Our work respects automotive engineering and reshapes raw metal into centerpieces people can use and display.

Every weld, polish and copper accent is executed by hand inside our dedicated studio workshop.
