The Art of Metal: Inside Balasagun's Decade of Craftsmanship

Since 2013, Balasagun has been dedicated to perfecting the art of metal furniture components. As we've grown to serve clients across the United States and Canada, our commitment to quality craftsmanship has remained unwavering. Today, we invite you behind the scenes to discover what makes Balasagun table legs and furniture components truly exceptional.
A Heritage of Metal Mastery

Every piece that leaves our workshop carries with it a decade of expertise. Our journey began with a simple vision: to create metal furniture components that combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. This philosophy continues to guide our hands as we shape steel, stainless steel, and our specialty – brass – into functional works of art.
What sets Balasagun apart is our deep understanding of metals and their unique properties. Each material demands different techniques, different tools, and different approaches:
- Steel offers strength and versatility, allowing for both industrial minimalism and ornate detail work
- Stainless steel provides modern elegance with unmatched durability against the elements
- Brass, our specialty, brings warmth and character that develops a beautiful patina over time, telling the story of your furniture as it ages
The Crafting Process: Where Tradition Meets Technology
Precision craftsmanship: Detailed work on one of our signature brass table legs
Our process begins with selecting premium materials. We source high-quality metals that meet our exacting standards – because exceptional finished products require exceptional raw materials.
Next comes the transformation. Our craftspeople use both time-honored techniques and modern precision equipment to shape these materials into our signature table legs and furniture components:
- Design & Planning: Every product begins with careful design work, whether adapting one of our standard styles or creating a completely bespoke piece
- Cutting & Forming: Using precision tools, we cut and shape the metal to the exact specifications
- Joining & Assembly: Expert welding and joining techniques ensure structural integrity
- Finishing: Multiple stages of sanding and polishing create the perfect surface
- Final Treatment: Application of protective coatings or patinas that enhance both beauty and durability
For custom pieces, this process involves close collaboration with our clients, ensuring that the final product perfectly matches their vision.
Our Brass Expertise: A Balasagun Hallmark

While we work with multiple metals, our brass craftsmanship stands as our signature achievement. Brass demands particular skill to work effectively – it's softer than steel but requires careful handling to achieve the perfect finish.
The beautiful patina that develops on our brass pieces over time
The warm golden glow of brass brings timeless elegance to any space. Unlike many other materials, brass develops character over time, with a patina that tells the story of your furniture's life. This living quality makes brass components not just functional items but heritage pieces that grow more beautiful with age.
Our brass table legs have adorned everything from luxury dining tables in Manhattan penthouses to boutique hotel furniture in Toronto. Each piece carries our commitment to excellence and traditional craftsmanship.
Custom Capabilities: Your Vision, Our Expertise

- Interior designers seeking the perfect components to complete their vision
- Furniture makers who need reliable, high-quality legs for their custom tables
- Homeowners with specific needs for unique spaces
- Commercial clients requiring consistent components across multiple installations
Our custom process begins with understanding your needs – dimensions, style, finish, and function. From there, our team works to translate your vision into reality, providing guidance on materials and techniques while respecting your creative direction.
