James Horrobin's metalwork designs are contemporary and site specific. They set out to complement their surroundings in both interior and exterior situations. They have a natural organic feel that is inspired by his love for the sea and landscapes of West Somerset.

He uses traditional hand forging techniques combined with modern fabrication methods and takes advantage of new technology. CAD is used not as a design aid, but to ensure precision.

He works with both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and experiments with surface texture and patination.
