OUR STORY
Founded in 1996 in Krugersdorp, Johannesburg, Peter’s Metals is the expression of founder Pieter Smuts’ lifelong pursuit of custom metal craftsmanship.. Originally trained in law at the University of Johannesburg, Pieter chose a different path, one led by creativity, precision, and fire. He went on to refine his craft under a master German metalsmith, where discipline and artistry became inseparable.
Inspired by the ornate balustrades of Parisian Haussmannian architecture, Pieter returned to South Africa to translate classical elegance into bespoke metal creations from balustrades and gates to chandeliers and lighting, transforming everyday structures into works of art.
Guided by contemporary African and international design trends, every piece from Peter’s Metals is custom-designed and meticulously forged, combining modern sophistication with enduring craftsmanship
