Forged Steel Furniture with Mosaic Inlay

in , ,

We are so enjoying the journey of our collaborations in mosaic and steel.

Our very first collaborative pieces were our mosaic coat racks. Since then we’ve made a few fireplace projects together, some trophies, sculptural garden art, a set of interior stair railing, and of course, quite a few pieces of furniture.

All of our collaborative furniture so far has featured mosaic inlay in wood. But as we continue to experiment with techniques and materials, we’ve found ways to incorporate mosaic directly with metal.

The first piece we made in this way was our Woven Bench. As you can see in the detail photos, this is an intricate yet sturdy piece of furniture. The brightly colored mosaic adds a touch of lightness and levity to it.

The next piece we made was a small console table. Kyle constructed the base in entirely traditional blacksmithing techniques. The top is cherry wood.

The shapes and colors in the apron were inspired by a trip we had recently taken to southwestern Virginia and Mammoth Cave NP. On that trip we saw the many ways water shapes rocks over millennia. The round shapes and shades of green represent rocks covered in moss and algae. Plus those greens look so great with the warm tones of the cherry top!

The bench is sold but the console is available. Reach out if you’d like price and delivery information.

Coordinating Set of Home Accessories

in , ,

This client reached out to us about making a set of custom coordinating items for their new home. They’d seen our work in our Etsy shop and on our social media, and it had set their wheels spinning imagining an address plaque, hall bench, and coat rack for the entrance of their house. What a dream it was for us to combine all our skills to create this special grouping!

Here you can see each of the pieces in progress in our studios. The bench and coat rack hooks are forged steel, with the seat and coat rack frame made from cherry wood. The mosaics are made from a variety of glass and ceramic.

Like many of our most successful projects, this couple gave us a few particulars to work with, and left the rest of the design up to us. They told us their colors, shared photos of the entrance to their home, and mentioned some of our work to which they were especially drawn. That balance of specifics and openness allows us as artisans the structure and freedom we need to create new and fresh custom work in our signature style.

Below are photos and details of each of the finished pieces in our studios. Johannah loves to photograph all our work in the metal studio. The west-facing side of the shop space is covered entirely in large, industrial-era windows allowing for the most beautiful filtered natural lighting.

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.

{Click smaller images to enlarge.}

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.
