For the prestigious Osaka office of the investment company Kosei Securities, 6 large wrought-iron gates were handcrafted. 


The Nagata & Kitano & Associates studio designed the decorations of the portals, favouring the inclusion of stylized floral elements, which is a tribute to Japanese culture.


A decorative fascia divides the lower part from the arched upper part. 


The manual forging of wrought iron is further enhanced by the twisted working technique for the composition of rosettes and linear elements. 


THE DETAILS


This commission was carried out in 1995, without taking measurements but working exclusively from the design.


The imposing wrought-iron gates were divided into modules and shipped to Tokyo, where they were successfully installed and attached to the existing structure; a testament to the precision and craftsmanship of our workshop.
