For Fergus Kinnel and Arnon Kartmazov, it only seemed natural that a business partnership could be formed from a love of metalwork, K&K Forgeworks. Specializing in custom steelwork products, from home-hardware to furniture, Portland, Oregon-based K&K Forgeworks has built a growing reputation for exquisite design and workmanship. The two blacksmiths' range of interests, techniques and objects is wide but their aesthetic is consistent. As Kartmazov puts it, "We like to combine the most modern techniques with things that have been around a long time. And we both like simplicity and achieving results with the fewest steps."
