With nearly 40 years of fabrication experience and as a designer and manufacturer, Maurice prides himself on tackling the most challenging and innovative projects he can find. He has two Red Seal Certifications, as an Ironworker and a Machinist. Creating and crafting innovative, original designs is his passion.
A mountaineer and an artisan appear to be from different worlds, but artisan Maurice Dery says his work can be “like climbing Everest.”
Maurice Dery is the lead designer and co-founder of Karice, a custom lighting and metal manufacturer outside Vancouver, and he’s recently pushed himself to the limit of his abilities with the Da Vinci Collection, inspired by the ingenuity and mastery of Leonardo da Vinci.
“Somebody in art or in design is constantly challenging themselves to build better, to finish better, to design better,” Dery says. A mountaineer wields an ice axe and rope; a metalworker maneuvers high-powered machines, such as a high-pressure water jet that moves faster than the speed of sound to cut steel. The tools and environment are different, but the heart and drive are the same.
