About us

Our Story

At Forrged, we don’t just make furniture or gym equipment — we create meaningful pieces that carry soul, strength, and story.

What began as a small family workshop has grown into a passionate pursuit of craftsmanship. Run by our family, Forrged is powered by generations of hands that believe in hard work, detail, and durability. Every item is made with care, using raw steel, solid wood, and a whole lot of pride.

We design and build with intention — whether it's a floating shelf, a bench built to last decades, or a barbell stand that’ll see years of personal bests. Each piece that leaves our workshop is touched by skilled hands, not machines. It’s made to be used, admired, and lived with.

But what truly sets us apart?
We’re not a faceless brand. When you support Forrged, you’re backing a family that treats every order like it’s for their own home. You’re choosing honest materials, local talent, and products that are made to last a lifetime — not just a season.

We believe in the beauty of simplicity, the honesty of natural materials, and the strength of things built well. Our mission is to create items that become part of your daily life, your space, and your story.

Whether you’re furnishing a home, equipping a garage gym, or looking for a one-of-a-kind gift — you’ve come to the right place.

Welcome to Forrged. Where function meets soul.

Timeless Craftsmanship, Built to Last

At Forrged, we create pieces that rise above trends — raw, honest designs that feel at home in any space, and grow more beautiful with time.

Each item we craft carries the quiet strength of solid steel and the warmth of natural wood — materials chosen not only for their durability but for their story. We take pride in creating furniture and equipment that can be lived with, worked on, leaned against, and passed down — pieces that age with grace and become part of your home’s evolving story.

Our products aren’t mass-produced or disposable. They’re made with purpose, designed to endure, and adaptable to every stage of life — from first homes and garage gyms to growing families and quiet corners.

We believe that good design doesn’t shout — it stands strong, tells a story, and lasts for generations. The scuffs, the grain patterns, the welded edges — these are not flaws, but the marks of something real. Something lived in. Something loved.

When you choose Forrged, you’re not just buying a product. You’re investing in craft, character, and a connection to something timeless. By choosing Forrged, you’re proudly supporting locally sourced, South African-made products — built by real people, with real passion, right here at home
