Not only did the woodworking artisans that lined the aisles of the Architectural Digest Home Design Show pique our interest a few weeks ago, but the bold talent of metal artisans did, too. From sculptures and light fixtures to furniture and kitchen fixtures metal pieces appeared in a variety of forms, each time showcasing the handcrafted talent of its artisan.
Here’s a look at four manufacturers who caught our eye:
Workstead is a design studio founded by artisans Stephanie Brechbuehler and Robert Highsmith in 2009. The team focuses on architectural and interior design as well as lighting and furniture. Workstead has a strong line of light fixtures including the Workstead Industrial Chandelier, pictured left, composed of cast iron, steel and brass with pieces that can be reconfigured, allowing the fixture to either fall 32" from the ceiling or a more dramatic 62”; $1800. Pictured center is the Workstead Wall Lamp that features a 360 degree rotation at its cast iron joint; $475. The Brass Pendant, right, is made of a long brass rod, brass disk and brass socket, which allows for 360 degrees of rotation. The rod can also be customized in length up to 3’; $475.
Sun Valley Bronze, located in Bellevue, Idaho, offers a variety of handcrafted bronze hardware for doors, cabinets and windows as well as fixtures and accessories for the kitchen and bath. The company was founded by skilled craftsman and homebuilder Bob Commons who wanted to provide quality, handcrafted home finishes to the market after seeing hardware go the way of mass production. The company, which has a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, is 100 percent made in the US and makes use of recycled materials. Their white bronze contains a minimum of 93 percent pre-consumer recycled bronze content and their silicon bronze contains a minimum of 88 percent pre-consumer recycled bronze content. Pictured from left to right above, the door hardware from the Burlap Collection made of silicon bronze in a medium reddish-brown patina finish (S2), Bevel Edge Tile made of burnished white bronze (W1) and door hardware from the Arch Collection made of white bronze in a dark grey/black patina finish (W3).
MTL by the Adamcyzk Collection is a line of sculptural metal furniture and lighting that explores the power of positive and negative space. MTL made its debut at the Architectural Digest Home Show in March of 2014 and is the latest venture from Adamcyzk Fine Homes & Interiors, a company that has been designing and building single-family homes for 25 years. The Adamcyzk Collection was launched to celebrate the kitchen with custom and handmade cabinetry and artisan furnishings. The MTL pieces pictured above, from left to right, are the dining table, communal table and side table and are available in steel, mirror stainless, brass and antique nickel. Prices start at $1,490.
Native Trails, founded by Naomi Neilson Howard, is a company that offers handcrafted metal furnishings for the home. Specializing in copper, Native Trails' unique and masterful pieces are made from raw materials by talented artisans. The company is committed to sustainability and makes use of recycled copper as well as reclaimed barn wood, repurposed wine staves and bamboo. Pictured from left to right are the Copper Aspen bathtub in a brushed nickel finish, $27,500; the Copper Farmhouse 30 sink in an antique finish, $2,598; and the Chateau Range Hood in an antique finish, $3,600.
