Custom Metal Fabrications in Chicago & North Shore
Hand-Forged Railings, Gates, Balconies & Signature Metalwork.
At ArtMet, we design and build custom, hot-forged metalwork for luxury homes across Chicago and the suburbs. With 30+ years of experience, we deliver hand-forged iron railings, wrought-iron gates, architectural balconies, and bespoke interior pieces engineered for safety, durability, and long-term beauty - finished with eco-friendly powder coating for low maintenance.
ArtMet is trusted by homeowners in Chicago, the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, and the North Shore (Lake Forest, Winnetka, Highland Park, Wilmette, Glenview), as well as the western suburbs (Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Naperville, Barrington).
Not All Metalwork Is the Same
For example, CNC-cut pieces have their place - machines can trace patterns with precision.
But they can’t capture the soul of the metal.
At ArtMet, every curve, scroll, and detail is born from fire, hammer, and the skilled hands of our craftsmen. That’s the difference between produced and forged - between made and created.
If you’re looking for truly one-of-a-kind railings, gates, balconies, or interiors—where artistry meets strength—discover the timeless beauty of hot-forged iron.
