Welcome to our forge IRONART in Landen.
The forge was founded in 2011 in our old family farmhouse in Landen.
Tradition was and remains an important mainstay for us and this also reflects in our work.
Despite modern possibilities, traditional techniques are constantly being incorporated into our works, creating unique high-quality pieces.
Out of iron and fire and with creativity, we forge your unique piece that adds value to your home or garden time and again.
In our professional forge, black steel is transformed into gates, doors, railings, works of art, or it is used to repair pieces for the restorations we carry out.

Through close cooperation with our architects and private clients, the work piece is fully integrated into the overall project. Before and during the work, we sit together at the desk or in the forge to discuss the progress of the work so that when installed, the final result fully meets your wishes and our high standards.
By fire and gas the iron is formed into the desired shape, traditional bracing techniques are used to set the workpiece into its final shape. If necessary, new techniques are also used. Our workpieces are then treated in our own paint shop until we achieve our high-quality final result.
After planning and preparing, making and finishing the pieces, the last part is the installation. This part of the work is also part of our labour. During this part, we look for correct placement and functioning of the piece. Of course, the surroundings are not lost sight of and only when our work is a part of the whole are we satisfied.
After the complete work is finished, we go over everything together with the architect or private client to complete our labour and leave a satisfied customer.

My name is Wilfried Roosen, I have been passionate about history, art, old cities and buildings from an early age.
Thanks to the journeys I was able to experience with my parents as a child, I visited various historical sites, which always rekindled my admiration for old techniques.
But it wasn‘t until 2006 that I took my first steps in blacksmithing.
Thanks to a course at Eisen und Feuer! vzw, the flame for historical techniques rekindled in me, and this time I was unstoppable.
I also had the opportunity to complete a four-year course at the Academy of Fine Arts in Anderlecht.
The basics of forging were learned under the masterful tutelage of Peter De Beus.
This was followed by further training, including in the Perfection Center for welders, glass placement and finishing with the special Soudal traditional silicones and a training course on applying the „Verometal“ paint.
In order to be able to continue to offer our customers the right techniques, annual courses and training courses are completed.
