Designed for Place
Some projects call for something specific. A sculpture for a garden, a bench for a landscape, or a custom steel piece designed for a particular function.
Cricket Forge works with homeowners, designers, architects, and institutions to create one-of-a-kind steel work of many kinds. Each piece is designed and fabricated in our Durham studio.
