I’m mARTin Kainer, artist, designer, and mechanical engineer from Tyrol, Austria. In my garage in the Zillertal – where my car once stood – I now create exclusive design grills that unite technology, craftsmanship, and art in a completely new way.
The idea was born from my passion for rethinking materials and presenting the element of fire in a new light. What began with sketches and metal experiments evolved into an entirely new concept: Grilling on blackened glass, where the flames shimmer from below, creating a mesmerizing play of light. The grill itself became a work of art – a fusion of aesthetics, function, and emotion.
Each piece is handcrafted by me with precision and care – no two are alike. This uniqueness also reflects my artistic journey: One of my central artworks, GROW INTO A MACHINE – created as an artistic homage to Arnold Schwarzenegger – has been exhibited at international art fairs such as Red Dot Miami, Spectrum Miami, and the Art Expo New York.
A defining milestone in my work was the collaboration with international icon Rocco Siffredi. Known worldwide for his uncompromising presence, raw authenticity, and fearless attitude, Rocco embodies exactly what my work stands for: fire, desire, provocation, and absolute freedom.
Together, we translated this energy into a powerful visual statement – where design meets instinct, and fire becomes more than heat: it becomes emotion.
Through my own art movement NeoChronism – more at www.martinkainer.com – I combine symbolic storytelling with a modern artistic vision.
My creative work was honored with the German Design Award 2023 – a recognition of my vision to unite design, technology, and art.
Today, both worlds flow together – the technical precision of an engineer and the creative freedom of an artist. I live in Tyrol with my wife and our two young sons, where family, creativity, and fire are at the heart of my life.
