About Mustad

Mustad is one of the oldest names in Nordic metalwork, founded in 1832 and long regarded for its precision-forged steel and horseshoe nails. During the 1950s–1980s, Mustad materials became a cornerstone of Scandinavian craft, widely used by metal artisans in brutalist wall pieces, candle holders, decorative ironwork, and folk-inspired designs. Because of this legacy, Mustad-marked objects are often tied to mid-century workshop culture — pieces valued not only for their durability, but for the distinctly Nordic metal tradition they represent.
