Our work is expressive by design but robust in construction.

Strong form and long-term durability are inseparable. Each piece is made-to-order and built to hold its presence for decades of outdoor life.

For nearly thirty years, Cricket Forge has shaped steel by hand in North Carolina.

Forms are forged, shaped, welded, and finished by hand with attention to structure, proportion, and balance.

What begins as raw steel becomes sculptural pieces designed to bring character and presence to a space, not simply blend in.

ICONIC BY DESIGN

An original, copyrighted design created by Cricket Forge, the Butterfly Bench stands apart in both form and construction.

Instantly recognizable in silhouette, it pairs expressive design with long-term durability. Built for real outdoor environments, it remains one of our defining pieces.

The Measure of Our Work

We have been very pleased with every piece of work that ever came from the forge in the last few decades. They accompanied us to and from our households, both foreign and domestic. Upon landing in our forever home in Atlanta, we purchased ten more pieces to enhance our backyard. The new owners at Cricket have been a joy to work with!

The guys at Cricket Forge are fantastic to work with. My wife and I wanted a custom table for our dining room and CF is where we went. As a metal working shop they designed and built our table base. For the woodwork they suggested Elijah Leed Studios. Both teams worked together to produce a beautiful piece of furniture. If you are looking for metal work this is the place to go.

Jonathan & Neil were amazing and helped me with a custom piece for Art In Bloom at the North Carolina Museum of Arts. I can't express enough how awesome they were. Prompt, communicative, engaged, responsive and timely and above all else, quality.
