Forged Mantle Mirror

With the broad range of work we create, it follows that we work with a broad range of clients. The folks we work with range from homeowners to architects, contractors to community boards. This particular project was brought to us by an interior designer looking for a large custom mirror to go over the client's mantle.

Our latest custom coat racks

Time for another round-up of our most recent custom coat racks! You can see more examples in our past blog posts and in our portfolio.

The fun part about the coat racks included here is that each was inspired by the details, colors, or style of an existing coat rack. That makes each piece a truly satisfying collaboration between our style and the client's preferences.
