About us




Our history.

Ligne Metal was founded in 1991. We specialise in creating unique and desirable furniture and exterior ironwork for homes and gardens and we are proud of our reputation as market leader in the south of France. Our customers choose us because, like us, they’re inspired by a passion for design that makes a statement. Each painstakingly crafted piece brings a touch of style to your home - the “je ne sais quoi” that goes hand in hand with elegant living. From our family origins in furniture, over the years we’ve expanded our range to bring the unique Ligne Metal signature look to the outside of your home too. We’re the third generation of a family focused on furniture and design, and we love what we do. Our commitment to value, quality and creativity can be seen across our wide range of products for homes and gardens.

Our expertise.

Our designs are based on an intimate knowledge of the material we work with. Iron and metal have been used for hundreds of years because of their hard-wearing and flexible properties. Their great durability means your investment will last for years. All our products are hand forged in our own workshops using traditional artisan techniques. Our designers base their concepts on inspiration. Traditional designs add contrast and interest to new homes as well as fitting effortlessly into older properties. Contemporary designs add new dimensions to any home and make a talking point in any interior or exterior space. On placing your order, you can relax while our craftsmen embark on a detailed manufacturing process that starts with measuring exactly to the space we’re creating for. Only when you’re 100% happy with everything do we begin crafting your products. By the time we’re ready for installation we’ll have taken over 10 steps to guarantee we meet your expectations every time.
