Utilizing years of experience, knowledge and artistic skill,
Lowell Chaput produces both traditional and contemporary styles.
His designs in forged metals are available in iron, copper,
bronze, brass, and stainless steel. Classical and contemporary styles
can be seen in many of his pieces, including: doors, gates, railing,
grills, sculpture, hardware, furniture, lighting, and decorative items.
Working out of his Sonoma County studio Lowell produces unique
architectural and sculptural designs. Using hot forging techniques,
decorative metal objects are created that are specifically designed
to enhance the client’s environment, with strict attention to
detail. Creative solutions are offered to architectural
and interior design challenges. Working together with
clients often leads to the birth of a new piece, and the
opportunity is greatly welcomed.
