The design of these contemporary and understated gates was inspired by the clean lines of the Art Deco movement.
The uprights pass through square
punched holes made by driving a
suitably shaped punch through the
steel whilst hot. The almost fluid
metal is pushed to the sides as the punch moves through it, creating the attractive swellings surounding the holes.
This is a traditional blacksmith's method of "drilling" holes in
iron that dates back thousands of years. However, it was used here to create a design feature within modern and contemporary gates.
