At Robert Thomas Iron Design we believe in the timeless craft of blacksmithing, where fire, steel, and passion come together to create functional works of art.

RTID differentiates itself from mass production by emphasizing the hand-forged aesthetic, which is not just about producing something beautiful but also ensuring that each piece is crafted with a level of artistry and quality that mass production cannot replicate.

RTID is committed to the craft of blacksmithing, combining time-honored techniques with modern design to create works that are as enduring as they are beautiful. We aim to educate our clients on the value of hand-forged ironwork and to inspire a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship in a world dominated by mass production. Whether through residential, commercial, or public projects, our mission is to transform spaces with our ironwork, one project at a time.

Robert Thomas Iron Design was founded by Artist-Blacksmith Robert Thomas in 2013, with the goal of maintaining the integrity of an old-world craft in the modern world.

Forging is at the heart of everything we do. It’s more than shaping metal — it’s about creating connections between people, places, and objects. Every project, whether a grand architectural staircase or an intimate piece of decorative ironwork, is crafted with care, precision, and the utmost attention to detail. Our team brings decades of experience to the forge, and together, we produce work that stands the test of time — physically and aesthetically.

In an age of mass production, we proudly offer something different. Our pieces are designed to be unique, with each hammer blow and hand-forged detail telling a story of craftsmanship. At RTID, we don’t just create ironwork — we create legacies. From custom gates to intricate furniture, our work enhances the spaces it inhabits, blending function with artistry.

Behind every piece we produce at RTID is a team of passionate artisans, iron workers, fabricators, welders, blacksmiths, engineers, and architects dedicated to producing hand-forged pieces that merge traditional techniques with modern design.

The team at RTID is integral to the company’s ability to execute complex projects, such as monumental staircase railings and intricate ornamental gates. Our workshop is designed for collaboration, and the work we produce ranges from architectural pieces to decorative and functional art.
