On Inspiration: A Creative Exchange

Some of our most interesting work begins with a conversation.

When Jake Arnold invited us to collaborate on this project, it was an opportunity to explore how our approach to material, form, and craftsmanship could become part of a larger vision.

The resulting lighting brings together hand-blown glass and worked metal, with organic forms that feel at home among the surrounding wood, stone, and greenery.

Collaborations like these continue to inspire us. They challenge us to think differently, explore new possibilities, and consider how our work can live within a space.

Thank you Jake Arnold for including us in your beautiful project.

A familiar material, a new form.

Horsehair has long been part of our design language, bringing texture, movement, and an unexpected softness to our blackened steel forms.

With our newest folding screen, we continue that exploration on a larger scale. Woven horsehair is suspended within hand-worked steel frames, creating a delicate balance between structure and transparency, strength and softness.

A natural extension of our growing collection of horsehair seating, these new pieces offer another way to introduce the material into a room.

Collection No. 4, launching soon.

Designed and handmade in the Bronx, New York.

Richard is our Head of Production. He is a sculptor and classically trained blacksmith who has been with us at J.M. Szymanski since 2023.

This summer, Richard spent six weeks in residence at the Center for Metal Arts in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, working ten to twelve hours a day at the forge.

He returned with new techniques, fresh ideas, and an even deeper command of his craft. His skill and perspective as a master blacksmith have already begun to shape the work coming out of our Bronx studio.

Please visit the link in our profile to read this month’s Workshop Report, written by Richard, about his time at the Center for Metal Arts.

Scenes from last night.

We were pleased to open our studio to introduce Collection No. 4, sharing our new pieces in the space where it began.

We’ll be sharing more on the inspiration, technique, and final designs in the weeks ahead.

For now, a first glimpse.

Thank you for celebrating with us.
