What we do
Design in mind
Red Iron Design's pieces stand out. We pay attention to detail & aren't afraid to be creative with materials and elements. We like designing otherwise utilitarian items into one of a kind and unique pieces that have interest, beauty and of course functionality. Enchanting the ordinary & making things around our daily lives a little more beautiful.
Quality at hand
We make things the hard way, by hand and don't cut corners. We could go into deep length on the subject but a picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look through our portfolio & see for yourself. We also stand behind our work and go to extra lengths to ensure our pieces will stand the test of time & in the context of metal work it's a long long time.
Process
We start our projects with a complimentary consultation, from there a general design concept is prepared along with an estimate. With approval we require a 50% deposit & the project goes into final design & planning. Depending on the time of year we routinely book out finished lead times of up to 3 months (summer). Our lead times are simply guesses - it is impossible with custom work to pin point or guarantee a deadline. Considering the pieces will last a lifetime we believe it's worth the wait.
