Awards & Recognition
2024 proved to be a landmark year for Dragonfly Forge gaining welcome recognition for our work. At the annual Malvern Autumn Show, we won a Bronze Award for our exhibited garden sculptures.
And at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024, our collaboration with Lincolnshire Pond Plants - where our ‘Dragonfly on Lily Pads’ sculpture featured centrally in their stand design - contributed to their well-deserved best-in-class Gold Award.
(This award-winning exhibit also gained coverage on BBC TV with live commentary by legendary gardener, Monty Don).
Following last year’s success, we have been invited back to incorporate a unique, new sculpture design into the Lincolnshire Pond Plants [www.lincsplants.com] RHS Chelsea Flower Show exhibit in May 2025. Not to be missed…
New Dimensions
As our portfolio of sculptures has evolved and grown over the last four years, we have developed different themes, designs and sizes in response to client requests.
We are now able to offer an alternative metal finish option and the inclusion of new materials.
Galvanising
In addition to our traditional forged steel finish, which when oiled develops a pleasing patina over time, we now have a galvanised option which resists natural oxidation and rusting, further prolonging the life of your sculpture.
Wood, Glass and Copper
Locally sourced wood is already incorporated as an option in a number of the sculptures. We now offer the inclusion of fused glass and copper to add a further design dimension to relevant designs.
House & Garden Magazine
We featured in ‘House & Garden’ (Conde Nast) magazine in the ‘NATURE’S LIVING ROOM’ advertorial section in a number of 2024 issues.
With 303,000 international readers and 1.4 million unique online followers, ‘House & Garden’ has featured exceptional design – interior and exterior - to inspire its enthusiastic, loyal audience with the latest trends and emerging brands since 1947.
Dragonfly Forge was proud to be featured in this market-leading publication.
