Legacy
“Being able to interpret dreams and create unique pieces that transform the spaces they will occupy is our core mission. Delivering happiness is when the client sees their pieces installed and knows that those pieces will stand for generations to come as a legacy”.
Louis Beltran.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
In an era governed by machines, assembly lines, and mass manufacturing, we are proud to have mastered a tool like no other: our hands. Each piece we create is a testament to timeless beauty and elegance, elevating private residences, luxurious hotels and boutiques, and institutional spaces.
Handcrafting luxury metal pieces is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process that requires exceptional skills and artistry. The attention to detail and the personal touch of an artisan’s hands infuse each piece with a unique character and individuality that machines cannot replicate.
With our commitment to turning dreams into reality, we embrace the limitless possibilities of bespoke artistry. At BELT, we thrive on innovation, pushing boundaries, and delivering handmade excellence that transcends conventional limits.
Repoussé
Repoussé brings depth and dimension to metal surfaces, highlighting the precision of the artisan’s hand by shaping metal in low relief by hammering from both the front and back, allowing for intricate details and dynamic textures.
Forging
A labor-intensive and ancient technique in which metal is heated to a malleable state and shaped using hammers and presses. The metal is placed on an anvil and manipulated by skilled blacksmiths, who strike it with various hammers to achieve the desired form. The repetitive hammering and shaping can produce intricate patterns and textures, showcasing the artisan’s creativity and craftsmanship.
Casting
Casting is a versatile and ancient technique used to shape metals into solid forms and larger structures. The process starts with melting the metal, such as bronze or brass, in a crucible at high temperatures. Once the metal is melted, it is carefully poured into pre-designed molds.
Specialty Assembly
Meticulous craftsmanship and advance engineering combine to create complex, high-quality metal structures. Each piece is precisely integrated using mechanical fastening, pinning and notching, ensuring seamless connections and a refined, durable finish that enhances both aesthetics and strength
Specialty Finishes
Finishes are the final step in crafting a piece, refining its surface for the desired look, feel, and durability. this process includes patinas, paint, texturing, and coatings, each chosen to complement the metal and its use. Whether enhancing depth, creating contrast, or adding protection, finishing is where craftmanship reaches its final expression.

MATERIALS
In our relentless pursuit of crafting dream-worthy pieces, we intimately understand the unique characteristics and behaviors of every metal we use; with extraordinary technique and an eye for perfection, we transform raw materials into stunning works of art.
Iron
A material with both raw strength and aesthetic depth, iron can be shaped into everything from industrial structures to refined decorative elements. Cold-rolled steel offers sharp precision and a clean, uniform surface, making it ideal for architectural details. Hot-rolled steel's rich texture and organic finish bring warmth and a sense of history to any design. Left exposed to the elements, iron develops a natural patina that amplifies its character, blending durability with an ever-evolving visual appeal.
Aluminium
Lightweight yet incredibly strong, aluminum allows for expansive, fluid designs without sacrificing durability. Its natural resistance to corrosion makes it ideal for outdoor applications, while its ability to be shaped into elaborate forms offers endless creative possibilities. Easily repurposed and energy efficient, aluminum is as practical as it is visually striking.
Stainless Steel
Strong, sleek, and built to withstand the elements, stainless steel is a material of both function and style. Its smooth surface and crisp lines lend themselves to contemporary designs; specialty finishes and patinas can add depth and warmth. Highly resistant to corrosion and wear, stainless steel is ideal for architectural and artistic applications that demand precision and longevity. Whether polished to a mirror-like shine or textured for contrast, it preserves its integrity in any environment.
Copper
With its rich, reddish hue and natural softness, copper is a material that lends itself to artistry and detail. Whether shaped into luxurious fixtures or striking surfaces, each piece develops a patina that tells the story of time and use. Its malleability allows for delicate craftsmanship and beautiful designs, making it ideal for decorative applications. Its timeless beauty and ability to transform with age ensure that copper remains a distinctive and lasting presence in any space.
BRONZE
With a legacy that spans centuries, bronze brings warmth, depth, and a quiet sense of refinement to every piece. Its rich tones and smooth surface lend themselves to bold structural elements and delicate details, making it as versatile as it is timeless. Whether cast into sculptural forms or shaped by hand, bronze carries a presence that feels both enduring and alive.
Complementary Materials
Alongside metal, we work with wood, glass, textiles, and marble to complement and refine our custom metal pieces. Wood brings warmth, glass interacts with light and space, textiles introduce texture and soft contrast, and marble adds timeless elegance. These materials are not additions, but intentional elements chosen to create compositions where each material stands strong while working in harmony with metal.
