Sculptural Accents

I love working with Ernest and Lois. They have an ability to listen to the needs of a project and then respond with creative ideas and technically viable solutions. They have a unique ability to collaborate between themselves and with others in order to make work that all concerned can be proud of. I originally hired them to make an armature for my glass sculpture (in response to a commission by the John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, CA), and very quickly it became a creative collaboration that we all enjoyed. We have worked together on several private sculptural commissions, and I recommend them highly as skilled metal-workers, sculptors and collaborators on projects large and small.

We are very happy with the fence and gates we had designed and built by Structural Accents. Our organization is located in a park setting, and we needed a fence that provided security for our complex, and at the same time complimented ecology and history of the park. Ernest and Lois did a great job listening to the needs of our organization and making a beautiful and functional fence and gates. We constantly get compliments from patrons and passers by. Please feel free to come check it out at 84 Bolivar Drive in Berkeley's Aquatic Park. We highly recommend them to anyone needing a blacksmith or decorative iron work.

Ernest and Lois Rich of Sculptural Designs have created and installed a variety of custom functional sculptural metal works of art at our home. They are professional, hard working and lovely to work with. They designed an amazing gate and handrail for out home as well as a unique hood for our stove and a beautiful trellis for a climbing rose. I highly recommend them.
