Wood is warm, inviting, and living. However, wood lacks the tenacity required for long-term structural integrity. Steel has the perseverance that is required for longevity and precision. Each material is ideal in its own right. Together, steel and wood can be used to create a balanced front door. Steel will not warp or fail and wood will be beautiful. Modern Steel Doors (MSD) combines wood and steel to create this balanced modern double front door design. While this balance is not one of symmetry, it is one in which opposites are combined to create something greater than their parts, both aesthetically and functionally.
Hand-sculpted metal is another example of how MSD contradicting materials and methods are used to create a unique outcome. Metal is straight, consistent, and machine-made. Hand sculpting is arbitrary, inconsistent, and controlled chaos. Metal contributes to the structural longevity and the sculpting contributes to the beauty of the composition. We make each one of our contemporary door pulls by hand for each door.
