Interview with Steven Bronstein of Blackthorne Forge

His designs strive to blend the primitive charm of ironwork with the energy and interest of more contemporary designs. Relying on the qualities that make iron such a beautiful material, Steven's pieces are both delicate and rugged. All Blackthorne Forge ironwork is guaranteed for life.

In a recent interview, Steve discussed where he gets his inspiration from. "I love how lines can cut through space and, in the process, create new spaces. I often just have a vague sense of the final image and just start by moving a piece of metal. The concept usually reveals itself as I continue to move." Read the entire Steven Bronstein interview.
