ORIGIN STORY / THE WORKSPACE

The original Stark Industries.

Before the armor,
there was the workshop.

“Tony Stark built his in a cave.
I built mine in a storage room.”

The room before becoming a workshop, filled with storage bins, boxes and musical equipment, with Iron Man posters on the walls.01 / BEFORE

Every project needs a starting point.

A storage room full of boxes, bins and possibility. First job: make room to build.

The transformed workshop with workbenches, tools, a 3D printer, cyan ceiling lighting and red-and-gold Iron Man armor in progress.02 / CURRENT WORKSHOP

Stark Industries. Storage-room division.

The same room, now home to the printer, tools and workbenches behind the Mark VI build.
