At the entrance to the Paris store is a set of tall, bronzed iron gates, forged by hand at a foundry in
the village of Pradines, France. Their geometric design echoes the herringbone motif of the store’s
floor and ceiling, while the hand-worked bronze patina was inspired by the direct welding
techniques David Yurman uses in his sculpture. Listen to the gates’ artisan, Bryan Parlati, explain
how his forging process is similar to that of jewellery-making.
