Artist Miloš Šimurda

Miloš Šimurda, who has now found a place of honour at the Wallachian Nightingale in the Wooden Town.

His resting place is decorated with a corten monument.

Uniform shape and corten material.

When designing the manufacturing process to maintain the designed details, maximum emphasis was placed on invisible welded joints. All joints are designed to be invisible and sustainable. The entire structure is joined using "stud" welding - even the smallest details such as the internal letter shapes !

Corten in nature and surface treatment.

Corten is one of the few materials accepted by conservationists, environmentalists and modern architects. Its "all-rust" orange-brown and slightly peeling surface blends elegantly with nature and enhances modern architecture.

Rererence from the customer.

Corten is a steel alloy that has the property of a slow rusting process. The corrosion process isx compared to conventional steel. For this implementation, we used a chemical corrosion accelerator, which allowed the monument to be rust-free and look like it had been in place for years without the lengthy process.
