Hand Forged Custom Furniture

in , ,

Kyle is trained as both a blacksmith and a furniture designer, so it might not surprise you that his favorite projects incorporate both his areas of interest. Here are a few pieces of custom furniture he designed and created over the last few months.

First up is a forged bench base with a cherry seat. Kyle designed this bench to fit comfortably in an entryway or foyer. The original has sold but we're happy to create a custom one similar or just like this for you.

Four forged table bases PH2018

Kyle designed and forged these custom table bases for local woodworker Mark Rickey. It’s always a fun project when we get to work with another talented maker.

Modern Staircase

in

We built and installed this custom modern staircase and hand railing in a beautiful new modern home here in Richmond, Virginia.

{Click smaller images to enlarge.}

First up, creating the pieces and parts to make a staircase and railing.

Next step is installation. First the stair stringers, then the steps, followed by the railing, and finally the glass panels.

Detail photo of the clips we fabricated to hold the glass panels in place. Photo by Rendersphere.

Final installation looking fantastic with the home owners great taste in art and interior design. Photo by Rendersphere.

"Magic Carpet Ride" custom mosaic

in

This client reached out to us about creating a custom mosaic for a specific location in their kitchen. We used colors and nature themes found throughout their house in the design of this piece.

{Click any smaller image to enlarge.}

A series of process shots from idea sketches to color palette, through the creation of the finished piece. We used Italian smalti, an opaque glass and traditional mosaic material, for the leaf silhouettes and various glass and porcelain tiles for the background.

The finished piece in our studio...

... and some detail shots plus the piece installed in their kitchen. The rippling background plus the night sky feeling of the gold-sprinkled blue inspired us to call this piece “Magic Carpet Ride.”
