Hubbardton Forge

Browse free Hubbardton Forge catalogs from America's largest hand-forged iron lighting manufacturer — chandeliers, pendants, sconces, table and floor lamps designed and forged in Castleton, Vermont since 1974.

Hubbardton Forge at a Glance

Hubbardton Forge was founded in 1974 in the village of Hubbardton, Vermont, and now operates from a 145,000-square-foot design and manufacturing campus in Castleton, Vermont. Across the entire residential and contract lighting category, Hubbardton Forge is the largest hand-forged iron lighting manufacturer in North America. Every fixture in the line is designed, engineered, forged, finished, assembled, and packed in the same Vermont facility — the kind of vertical integration that almost no other premium lighting brand still maintains. The factory employs more than 230 craftspeople, including dozens of forge artisans who shape every steel arm, scroll, and frame by hand at the anvil. That combination of scale, craft, and single-site control is what produces the consistency designers and specifiers rely on when they build a Hubbardton Forge plan.

The Hubbardton Forge Product Family

The catalog portfolio is structured around four distinct brochures, each aimed at a different audience and project type. The flagship Hubbardton Forge product catalog (572 pages after spread split) is the master reference — covering the complete current lineup of chandeliers, pendants, sconces, vanity lights, ceiling fixtures, table and floor lamps, outdoor lanterns, and architectural specialty pieces across every design family Hubbardton Forge builds. It is the right brochure to request when you are spec'ing a whole-home lighting plan or building a designer trade reference library.

The Hubbardton Forge Glow Up brochure focuses on the brand's most current introductions — the new collections released for the current model year, with photography that shows each new design in a contemporary residential setting. It is the right catalog to request when you want to see what is new without flipping through the full master reference.

The Hubbardton Forge Designer Lookbook is the trade-facing brochure aimed at interior designers, architects, and lighting specifiers. It presents Hubbardton Forge fixtures in finished design installations — kitchens, dining rooms, primary suites, entryways, and outdoor living spaces — with an emphasis on how the line coordinates across rooms and fixture types. The Designer Lookbook is the brochure to request if you are a trade professional building a Hubbardton Forge specification for a project.

The Hubbardton Forge Customs brochure documents the custom and made-to-order side of the business. Almost every standard Hubbardton Forge fixture can be ordered in alternate finishes, sizes, configurations, glass options, arm counts, drop heights, and shade variations — and the Customs catalog walks through the custom design and forging program, the available finish library, and case studies of completed bespoke projects in private homes, hospitality interiors, and architectural commissions.

Design Families & Categories

The Hubbardton Forge line is organized into recognizable design families that span every room and fixture type. Forged Iron classics include the iconic Twig, Banded, Forged Leaf, and Sweeping Taper series — pieces with the unmistakable hand-hammered look that built the brand's reputation. Contemporary families include Banded, Equus, Tellurian, Trove, and the more architectural Apothecary, Beacon Hall, and Mobius collections. Coastal and organic families like Coastal Tideline, Cavo, and Brindille lean into softer curves and lighter visual weight. Outdoor families — Sentinel, Banded, and Twin Cypress — translate the same forge-built aesthetic into UL-wet-rated lanterns and post lights for entries, garages, and exterior architectural lighting.

Across fixture types: chandeliers in single-, double-, and triple-tier configurations from 16-inch entry sizes up to 60-plus-inch grand-foyer scale; pendants in mini, medium, and large drops with single, multi-port, and linear-cluster configurations; sconces in ADA-compliant low-profile and dimensional architectural depths; flush and semi-flush ceiling mounts for low-clearance interiors; vanity lights in 2, 3, 4, and 5-light bars; table lamps and floor lamps with hand-forged bases and Hubbardton Forge-specified shades; and outdoor lanterns in wall mount, post mount, pendant, and pier-base configurations.

Hand-Forged Construction

The defining Hubbardton Forge characteristic is true hand-forging. Every steel component starts as a flat bar or rod, is heated in the forge, and is shaped on an anvil by a Hubbardton Forge artisan. Hammer marks, anvil texture, and the slight variations from one piece to the next are intentional — they are the visual signature of work that has not been cast, stamped, or machine-bent. The finishing department then applies one of the dozen-plus signature Hubbardton Forge finishes (Bronze, Black, Dark Smoke, Natural Iron, Vintage Platinum, Soft Gold, Burnished Steel, Mahogany, Modern Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and many more) by hand, layer by layer, so each fixture develops the depth and patina that defines the brand. Glass components — opal, seeded, smoke, frosted, clear, art-blown — are sourced from specialty glass partners and matched to each fixture in the Vermont assembly area.

Vertical Integration & American Manufacturing

Hubbardton Forge is one of the few remaining American lighting manufacturers that controls every step of production in-house. Industrial designers, mechanical engineers, forge artisans, glass procurement, finishing, assembly, lighting electronics, packaging, and warehousing all share the same Castleton campus. That vertical integration produces shorter lead times for standard catalog items (3-4 weeks typical, faster than most imported premium-lighting competitors), full control over custom-order capability with no overseas hand-offs, and the consistent quality benchmark that designers rely on when building a Hubbardton Forge specification across a multi-room project.

Designer & Trade Program

Hubbardton Forge maintains a national network of specifier sales representatives who work directly with interior designers, architects, lighting designers, and contract specifiers on commercial and high-end residential projects. The Designer Lookbook brochure is the entry point into the trade program — requestable by any qualified design professional and supplemented with sample finish chips, CAD files, REVIT families, IES photometric files, and project quoting from the local specifier rep team. Hubbardton Forge is widely specified into hospitality projects (boutique hotels, restaurants, resort properties), high-end multifamily, custom residential, and architectural commissions where the brand's hand-forged signature reads as a deliberate craft choice rather than a stock fixture.

Environmental Ethic

The Castleton manufacturing campus is one of the most environmentally serious facilities in the residential lighting industry. The plant is LEED-rated, runs on a substantial percentage of recycled steel content (Hubbardton Forge sources domestic recycled steel for the bulk of its raw material), recycles process water, and has eliminated heavy-metal finishes from its finishing chemistry over the past decade. The brand was an early signatory to durable design principles — fixtures are built to last decades, with replacement parts available long after the original product run ends, so individual fixtures do not end up in landfill at the end of a renovation cycle. Hubbardton Forge has also led the residential lighting category in low-energy lamping, with most current fixtures spec'd around integrated LED or LED-replaceable lamping that draws a fraction of the watts the same fixture would have used a decade ago.

Free Hubbardton Forge Catalogs by Mail

Every brochure listed here can be requested in printed form and mailed to a residential or trade address. The print Hubbardton Forge brochures carry some of the highest-quality printed photography in the American lighting category — the printing process the brand uses captures the depth of the hand-applied finishes in a way that on-screen photography cannot replicate. Worth requesting in print when you are planning a serious Hubbardton Forge specification, building a designer reference library, or comparing finishes against cabinetry, hardware, and architectural metals in a real interior.
