About us

About Aetherial Forge

Aetherial Forge is an independent design and production studio in Orlando, founded by Erik Sterling. What began as an experiment in 3D creation has grown into a studio for dimensional artwork, collectibles, and everyday objects with personality.

Designed with purpose. Made with precision.

We work in small batches, with attention to materials, detail, and the finish you feel in your hands. Every piece is fabricated, inspected, cleaned, and finished in our studio before it heads to yours.

Art with another dimension.

Our ForgeRelief™ process brings rich color and tactile depth to acrylic artwork. Alongside it, our precision 3D creations include figures, articulated designs, fidgets, organizers, and custom pieces. Different processes, the same care for the finished object.

A little character goes a long way.

From rainbow art and playful collectibles to a piece made just for you, we create things that deserve a closer look and a place in your everyday life.
