La Forge De Style

What La Forge De Style does

La Forge De Style is a privately held artisan metalworking company, founded in the United States in 2002 and subsequently incorporated in France as a SASU (Société par Actions Simplifiée Unipersonnelle), operating dual production bases in South Hackensack, New Jersey and Saint-Macaire-en-Mauges, France. The firm designs, fabricates, and globally installs bespoke architectural metalwork — including railings, staircases, doors, grilles, and high-end furniture — working in noble materials such as bronze, brass, copper, titanium, aluminum, and wrought iron, including applications with 24-karat gold gilding. It employs approximately 50 highly qualified artisans and was awarded the French government's EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant / Living Heritage Company) label in 2012 in recognition of its craft heritage.

The company operates a project-based, one-time-revenue business model with custom, non-publicly-disclosed pricing determined by design complexity, materials, and scope, and no subscription or recurring component. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales: projects originate through architects, interior designers, luxury brand specifiers, and end-clients, and the firm manages the full lifecycle from freehand concept sketch through technical development, in-workshop fabrication, and on-site installation worldwide. Customer segments span luxury boutique hotels, luxury retail boutiques, high-net-worth private residences, and the architect/designer channel, with documented flagship projects including La Reserve Paris Hotel and Guerlain Paris. The firm also operates a companion sub-brand, Mobilier de Style (mobilierdestyle.com), marketing a 20th-century French-inspired handcrafted furniture line as a distinct product surface.
