Cotswold master metalsmith, Marc Begg, is launching a stunning new outdoor living collection of hand-forged metal gifts.
New Zealand-born Marc is the artist behind the unique metalwork designed by Cirencester-based Kyeburn.
Named after a small settlement on the South Island in Marc's home country, Kyeburn is the design arm of the award-winning Cirencester Fabrication Services, which manufactures architectural metal structures and products from its factory in the Cotswolds.
The inspiration behind Kyeburn's design ethos is to bring family and friends together, with its hand-forged garden, outdoor and ornamental gifts offering artisan craftsmanship together with sustainable materials that will last a lifetime, even when placed outdoors.
Marc said: 'As outdoor living continues to gain popularity, more and more people are interested in designing outdoor spaces that can be used all year round. It’s becoming essential to style and elevate outdoor spaces into a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing area for relaxation and entertaining.'
From firepits and chimineas to planters, woodstores, bespoke sculptures and even barbecues, each handcrafted piece is weatherproof and virtually maintenance-free, guaranteeing a pleasingly patinated finish that matures alongside your garden.
Marc has an extensive portfolio and has designed for a diverse and prestigious clientele. He has worked with luxury hotels, private estates, members of the royal family and many professionals, including interior designers, architects and contractors.
Marc continued: 'People love to see their ideas on paper come to life, which is personal to them and their family, especially for that loved one who has everything! Turning customer inspiration into a design reality begins by carefully listening to a customer’s vision. We capture key preferences, including likes and dislikes, while challenging any aesthetic concepts and pushing boundaries.'
Kyeburn prides itself on its commitment to sustainability and caring for the planet, choosing to work with steel due to its environmental properties.
'Steel is a highly sustainable material due to its recyclability; it can be melted down and reused indefinitely without losing quality. Because of this, steel remains one of the most recycled materials globally, contributing to a more circular economy.'
