Award-winning garden pavilions for public spaces

Historically inspired custom designs

We unite established blacksmithing tradition with current creative technique to produce metalwork that is both robust and original.

One-off hand-forged statement pieces

From concept to delivery, you are included in the design journey, ensuring the final result is truly yours.

A truly bespoke commission process

Each project begins with your inspiration and develops through careful exploration of materials, heritage, and contemporary influences.

 

We work alongside you in design consultations, develop sketches, and provide samples to make sure your preferences are fully represented.

 

By drawing on both traditional blacksmithing and creative problem-solving, we ensure your commission is both practical and one-of-a-kind.

 

Every piece is handcrafted in our Reading workshop, where traditional methods meet modern ideas.
