A collaboration between Metal Shape Design & IronSigns
Italian craftsmanship by Matteo Pagni, a specialist in bespoke metal signs, logos, lettering, and calligraphy. Metal Shape Design has partnered with IronSigns, the Italian artisan workshop of Matteo Pagni in Milan, to create distinctive bespoke metal signage, branded logos, metal shape design and hand-crafted lettering for interiors, businesses, and brands. Combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with Metal Shape Design's UK expertise, this collaboration brings together specialist metalworking, creative design, and exceptional attention to detail.

Bespoke metal signs, crafted in Italy
Every IronSigns piece is handcrafted in Italy using traditional metalworking techniques. Where required, genuine oxidation processes are used to create naturally varied finishes with depth, texture, and character. Each sign is made to order, giving it a unique identity rather than the uniform appearance associated with mass-produced or artificially distressed signage. From bespoke business signage and branded logos to decorative lettering and hand-crafted calligraphy, every piece is created specifically for its intended space.
Italian craftsmanship meets UK expertise
The collaboration between Metal Shape Design and IronSigns combines the experience and expertise of both businesses. From the initial concept and design through to the finished sign, each project is carefully considered to ensure the final piece reflects the character, identity, and requirements of the client. Whether you are looking for a distinctive sign for a commercial premise, a bespoke branded logo, decorative metal lettering, or a statement piece for an interior, IronSigns offers a truly individual approach to metal signage.
