A sand-box of tactile inspiration, this outdoor experience is equipped for self-discovery and focuses on the diverse opportunities we have at our fingertips to create meaningful stories.Searching for new strategies and ideas? Trying to incorporate dynamic elements into your design process? Texture is a powerful design tool. Enjoy this space to re-frame, discover, and experiment with new processes.

Our story begins in 2020, when we began taking art and design commissions as Ember’s Forge. Emerging now as a collective simply known as Forge, we provide the community with bold designs and textured artwork that challenge and inspire, finding the balance between refined form and unfettered creativity. Art is affected through systems, and those systems are perfected to produce high-quality design – innovation is a cycle of growth rooted in the belief that we thrive as a community when we create + collaborate. Forge was founded to fill a space and satisfy a desire. While the physical space that we occupy has changed over the years, the need remains the same: structure and creativity. At Forge, we believe that these two things go hand in hand.
