Gates that Inspire by Steelbamboo
Written by Beth Flanagan
A beautifully designed gate sets the stage for your property. Whether your gate will be used as an entrance to your front door or a garden gate to your backyard, an artistic and well-crafted design will make a lasting impression.
Steelbamboo crafts such gates. Christopher Lemmen, artist, designer, and creator of these beautiful gates will work with your architect, contractor, or designer to achieve your dream gate from conception to completion, including installation. His artistic approach uses unique architectural details and functional custom metalwork that virtually creates a piece of art.
Chris loves working with all types of metal and often incorporates reclaimed materials into his creations. He searches for remnants and unique materials from diverse and unusual places.
Christopher’s artistic style leans toward Asian and Art Deco; he believes that the two complement each other and merge comfortably with many architectural styles. Other styles that interest him are retro designs, cubism, and abstract art. He uses a multitude of finishes including traditional patinas, heat patinas, and commercial coatings.
On his website you can view some of his creations such as the Art Nouveau Gate constructed of recycled retail fixtures, copper, and steel – it’s too die for. Or the beautiful Galvanized Gate with patina panels of copper, bronze, and brass.
Besides creating gates, Steelbamboo designs and builds railings and garden art as well as interior art, lighting, bars and countertops, and fireplaces.
So, when it’s time to go gate shopping remember, you can have a cookie cutter gate or you can make a lasting impression with a one of a kind piece of art that says “Wow.”
You can see samples of Christopher’s gates and other artistic pieces at www.steelbamboo.com.
