EST. MIAMI — Fabrication & forged art
Steel, shaped
with intent.
A Miami atelier where water-jet precision meets the forge. We fabricate architectural metalwork for the buildings that demand it — and original work for those who collect it.
Two disciplines,
one hand.
Every project is drawn, cut and welded in-house — whether it holds up a staircase or hangs in a lobby.
Architectural Fabrication
Gates, railings, floating stairs and structural steel — engineered to code and finished to be looked at.
- Custom gates & entries — Residential / Commercial
- Railings & balustrades — Code-compliant
- Floating & spiral stairs — Structural
- Fences & perimeter systems — South Florida rated
Art & Sculpture
Commissioned sculpture, Damascus-forged blades and one-off design pieces — signed work by Karel Frometa.
- Commissioned sculpture — By brief
- Damascus-forged blades — Hand-forged
- Design furniture — One-off
- Lobby & interior pieces — Site-specific
Selected work
A working index. Each piece is documented as a case study — the drawing, the raw metal, and the installed result.
01 / STRUCTURAL
TIG-Welded Structural Steel
Precision TIG work bridging industrial load and architectural finish.
02 / BLADE
Hand-Forged Damascus Blade
Pattern-welded steel, hardwood handle — functional cutlery as object.
03 / MIRROR-POLISH
Stainless Custom Fabrication
Mirror-polished stainless for a commercial kitchen, welded seamless.
03The atelier
Founded on the bench, not the catalogue.
Thor Metal Art is a Miami studio led by Karel Frometa, where heavy engineering and hand craft share the same floor. Water-jet cutting sets the tolerance; the forge and the weld give it character.
Nothing is outsourced. A residential gate and a commissioned sculpture pass through the same hands, the same standard, and the same drawing table before a single cut is made.

The philosophy
A gate should hold a wall. A piece should hold a room. We build both to outlast the person who commissioned them.
— Karel Frometa, Founder
From drawing
to installed.
A sequence, not a quote form. You see the work take shape at every stage.
01 — The Drawing & Cut
Every commission begins as a CAD drawing. Water-jet and laser set the tolerance before a weld is struck.
02 — The Raw Metal
Forging, bending and TIG welding in the Miami shop. You receive progress documentation, not silence.
03 — The Finished Piece
Delivered and installed by the team that built it, finished to sit as though it had always been there.
