METALNA GALANTERIJA VRBANUS

MG Vrbanus - Handcrafted Excellence from Sisak, Croatia

Welcome to MG Vrbanus, where we fuse artistry with engineering. Situated in the historic town of Sisak, Croatia, our company boasts over 30 years of experience in crafting unique metal products. Our craftsman, Jasna Vrbanus, leads our team dedicated to innovation and quality.

Our Signature Creation: The Beetle by Vrbanus

Among our proudest achievements is the Beetle, a stunning reinterpretation of the classic Volkswagen Beetle. This one-of-a-kind piece is meticulously handmade from wrought iron, showcasing our mastery of metalwork. We have spent 3,500 hours—equivalent to 6 months—painstakingly constructing this masterpiece. The Beetle's frame retains the original chassis and motor, paired with icons such as wheel caps and mirrors from a 1970 model, yet has entirely abandoned its original bodywork in favor of a new, transparent design.

Details that Dazzle

The Beetle is not just a vehicle; it's a spectacle adorned with over 5,000 genuine Swarovski crystals and features gold-plated accents, merging luxury with nostalgia. It is designed to drive smoothly, mirroring the functionality of a classic Beetle, albeit with a bit more weight due to its handcrafted embellishments.

Exhibition and Display

While the Beetle is not available for sale, it can be showcased at car exhibitions, fairs, and special events. Our intention with this piece is to share our artistry and craftsmanship with a wider audience rather than having it utilized as a standard vehicle. For its preservation, we keep it stored indoors on rainy days, ensuring it remains in pristine condition.

Beyond the Beetle

Our offerings extend beyond automotives. We also produce a variety of laser engraved products and custom-designed metal items, including decorative pieces resembling the Beetle, such as crinolines. Our small shop is committed to providing a range of products that exemplify craftsmanship and innovation.
