We’ve got a couple of large fire baskets underwa We’ve got a couple of large fire baskets underway at the moment for an architecture studio in the US. Both these designs are larger editions of the Fold and Upset fire baskets. As these are so much larger than the originals we’ve had to remake all the custom tooling. There’s going to be some rather heavy crates heading over the Atlantic…… photo credit for the Fold basket @hughfoxstudio #firebasket #bespoke #interiors #fireplace #hearth #interiordesign #fireplacetools #blacksmithdesigner #forged #forge #metaldesign #iron

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

Soon to be covered in Wisteria , this version uses T sections and echos French ironwork at the turn of the last century.

It’s almost a wrap on this one. As ever it’s a 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

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.

The bare bones of this have been languishing in storage whilst we waited on the clients lock mechanism.

Made up of the left overs of last year’s Strata 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 🤔

I love bronze a lot….. the rich colour, the way I love bronze a lot….. the rich colour, the way texture pops when forged, the way it sounds when handled, it goes deep!

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.
