A recommendation from London based designer Tord Boontje, following a collaboration on a bespoke metalwork project for the prestigious Chelsea Barracks Development.

“Nowadays, it’s not so common to find blacksmiths – and especially really good ones. The better the blacksmith is, the higher the quality of the craftsmanship and the more beautifully my designs will be translated. So I spent a lot of time researching blacksmiths in Britain, and visited many different workshops.”

“Eventually, I struck on West Country Blacksmiths, an exciting and accomplished team of metalworkers operating out of a seventeenth century forge in Somerset. A very energetic young team who are highly skilled and are a pleasure to work with. And they have a very nice way of interpreting my designs and making them into metal.”
