Although the name Plasmann Studios is brand new, we're now in our 7th year creating dynamic work for upscale, contemporary homes, corporate environments and international galleries. Established in 1997, Dan Das Mann Studios has grown from a small waterfront shop in an abandoned neighborhood into a vibrant community of artists with worldwide commissions. In early 2003 we formally reorganized as Plasmann Studios in order to continue bringing you Dan Das Mann original designs as well as those of other artists associated with the studios at 710 Innes. NOW we have a new location in Bayview Just off 3rd street, clsoe to Candlestick. We are now at 1526 Wallace Ave Unit D, San Francisco 94124. Our telephone # is the same at 415 643-0817 . Though we do miss the gorgeous bay view of the former location. Due to long standing health issues Dan has turned over studio operations to Serge Durieux and Chris Simonini.  Michelle, the third partner here, is the voice you will find most often answering the phones.

In 2003 we completely revamped our customer service and production processes to better respond to demand. Our artistic direction still includes the geometric popout designs and weaves pioneered from the beginning, but we've expanded our repertoire with many more custom options, colors and patterns. We are constantly introducing new designs and techniques into our collection.

Please contact us for more information. Thank you for your interest in Plasmann Studios. We're here to make art. Enjoy!

Raconteur, world traveler, and artist. Serge sees everything as potential art fodder. Raw materials. Found scraps. Varied baubles. He looks at them, holds them in his hands, imagines an art piece, then makes it. The well spring for his art is the unique aspects of the mediums. What can metal do that wood cannot? How does light refract off copper versus heat-painted steel? He creates metal art in a loose, tribal style, wrought with color.
Starting as a craftsman of jewelry and chain mail, he evolved his art into metal sculpture. His vision is influenced by his background of multimedia sculpture, printmaking, wood working, glass and Plexiglas, wire form, light sculpture and armor techniques. Serge has engulfed himself in art most of his life. He believes the creative process is innate in everyone and that he's one of the luckiest people in the world to indulge in the opportunity and freedom of full self-expression.

Chris is a real artisan. His background of mastering metal in the sign industry is peppered with experience in glass carving, graphic design, murals, sculpting, industrial custom fabrication as well as owning his own art gallery for 11 years. Since coming to Plasmann Studios, he has assessed his agility with the grinder and plasma torch and found a powerful substitute for paint and pencils.
Sparks spraying through the air. Slag dripping like wax. Smoke swirling in the flashing light. And behind it all is Chris. As a sign maker most of his life, his style tended to blur the distinction between realism and impressionism, rarely indulging in what might be termed abstract or freeform art. But through his almost 3 years as head of the shop for Plasmann Studios, he has been drawn to the exploration of materials and techniques, inviting a whimsical explosion of form, movement and color that seems to develop on some level outside of himself.
Chris has survived on the fringe of the fringe art community since the mid-eighteen hundreds, kept in captivity throughout business hours he is often set free after sunset to wander the streets with his guitar in search of a smoky bar room.

Michelle is our Office Genie. She balances quality with efficiency. She enjoys the momentum of multi-tasking. She's present and accessible, sagacious and succinct. Everything works much better now. Her art is as the liaison between every bustling aspect of the studio, tracking every piece from your order to creation to shipment. She's committed to the maintenance of lasting relationships of mutual respect and communication with the artists, galleries and connoisseurs. Michelle, the third partner here, is the voice you will find most often answering the phones. Call Plasmann Studios. She'll be there.
