Tasman Forge, based in Nelson, New Zealand and founded by designer Tim Bleackley, has been producing a range of high quality door hardware and custom ironwork for over 20 years. Combining original design and attention to detail, each piece is individually hand crafted and created from hot forged mild steel.

After sketching his designs Tim loves nothing more than getting his hands dirty turning his working drawings into beautiful tactile pieces at the forge.

“My passion is to create unique pieces, combining my design ideas with traditional forging techniques and modern methods that can withstand the test of time in both style and durability… I love to combine form and functionality together with line and proportion”
