ABOUT US

At Ironware, we are obsessed with the process, from conception at the point of the original inspiration to the final executed piece.

The creative process is like a life cycle, where we see an idea from its birth to maturity, working through the sketches and prototypes, making the tooling, forging the material into shape and perfecting the hand applied finish. 

Owners Matt Olseng and Kara Jerden, who are blacksmiths themselves, are committed to continuing the rich history of blacksmithing.

Obsessed with the process and driven to evolve, we are finding new ways to utilize the craft and beauty of the art in both traditional and contemporary applications. For decades, Ironware has been one of the premier sources of custom, hand forged lighting and furniture in the United States. We are committed to that legacy and are excited to introduce new materials, including brass, copper and bronze. 

Ironware’s mission is to build pieces that bring the soul and presence of a cherished heirloom into any space.
