Pair of gates for some nice people in Kew, west London. This design wasn’t what I originally proposed but instead evolved into something more client lead. The leaf forms are taken from the surrounding trees and they were excited about combining details from several of my design proposals…… not how I usually work and my initial thoughts were 🙄 but it turned out great and was fun to make. See if you can spot the birds?? 🐦 . Great work as ever Patrick 👍🏻@mulberrytree_forge #gates #gate #bespoke #forged #blacksmithdesigner #iron #ironwork #drivewaygates #kew #entrancegates #architecturalmetalwork

Pergola season continues…..this time our path lead to leafy Muswell Hill in North London. Soon to be covered in Wisteria , this version uses T sections and echos French ironwork at the turn of the last century. Patrick oversaw most of the work on this one and did a super job with some super tidy connections between different sections 👌🏼@mulberrytree_forge. #pergola #gardens #gardens #shade #ironwork #gardeninspiration #metaldesign #gazebo #gardendesign #iron #blacksmithdesigner

Soon to be encircling a wonky tree in an Oxfordshire meadow…….built to last, galvanised, riveted, made to order. #treeseat #gardens #seating #gardenseat #gardenfeature #iron #ironwork

It’s almost a wrap on this one. As ever it’s always hugely satisfying to see all the myriad elements come together. All it needs now is the swept zinc roof that is being supplied by a specialist contractor. This project has stretched on for a few years from initial concepts, to a finished CAD drawing and then install of the stone plinths and finally the spider crane install yesterday. #balcony #architecturalmetal #gardenbalcony #gardens #wroughtiron #ironwork #bespoke #forged #blacksmithdesigner

It’s a wrap on this one…. I’m happy with the mix of movement and flow going on here , not to mention also being seriously rigid and strong despite its elegant looks. As all good engineers know it’s about the triangles stoopid…... #gate #gates #gardengate #bespokegate #iron #ironwork #wroughtiron #wroughtironwork #blacksmithdesigner #forged #forging #metaldesign #bespoke #craft #gardengates #gardendesignideas

Gate frame detailing for our current project… I don’t know about you but there something about these squishy fluid forms and the play between positive and negative space that I find especially satisfying. #details #forged #metaldesign #blacksmithdesigner #gate #gates #architecturalmetalwork #bespoke #gardengates

Patrick and I got this one together today……part of our ongoing Balcony project in Rochester, Kent. The bare bones of this have been languishing in storage whilst we waited on the clients lock mechanism. Tenoned, riveted with a crafty use of shear nuts…….Voila!!👌🏼#gate #forged #metaldesign #process #blacksmithdesigner #bespoke #handmade

Made up of the left overs of last year’s Strata entrance gates this one’s heading to our showroom. Resplendent in ‘ ratho grey’ MIO paint and weighing in as a super heavy weight it’s great to be able to hang on to a bit of this project……. Although the storage challenges of 20 yrs of samples means that I’m thinking of some kind of hybrid workshop iron cladding 🤔

A couple of our Rivet fire bowls on the bench today, 1 for an order, 1 for stock (DM for pricing) these are available with a stainless grill and plancha as well as a powder coated top to switch into a table.

I love bronze a lot….. the rich colour, the way texture pops when forged, the way it sounds when handled, it goes deep! With the patina and marble now complete this one will be heading off soon to stoke some fires stateside 🇺🇸 🔥 #bronze #patina #firetools #bespoke #craft #forged #fireplaceideas #fireplacedesign #companionset #hearth #blacksmithdesigner #metaldesign

Easing into 2024 with an Omega companion set for @mfosterinteriors in NYC. This is the first glimpse after cleaning off the bronze oxides after the forging process. The stand is great fun to forge starting life as a chunky lump of 38 mm round and being transformed into this elegant and fluid form. Polishing and patination up next ….. #interiors #firetools #companionset #bespoke #bronze #bronzefiretools #forge #hearth #blacksmithdesigner

Smaller version of the recent Strata gates for the showroom….. I swore to myself that the last thing we need are more samples but somehow all the leftover bits from the larger commission had other ideas 🙄……#gates #gardengate #forged #latch #blacksmith #bespoke #metaldesign #craft #blacksmithdesigner

And they are up! 🙌🏼…… I headed to the Surrey Hills this morning to give these the once over, now that the automation contractors have done their work.

You will know us by our latches…… this tasty little number forms part of a showroom sample that we are making. Forged from the left overs from the recent entrance gate project. This pile of bits is slowly becoming a stout pedestrian gate built properly to last a lifetime. #latch #detail #forged #process #craft #metaldesign #blacksmithdesigner #maker #architecturalmetal

Final laser check before galvanising…. Happily all the dims were spot on and exactly as my original CAD drawing, lucky as there’s probably not much we could have done to adjust . These guys are quite possibly the most rigid pair of gates I’ve ever made!…… Very satisfying to see the flow of the infill too. #gates #forged #ironwork #iron #gate #entrancegate #blacksmithdesigner #architectural #metaldesign #craft
