“Murray Leisner founded Murray’s Iron Works in 1967 just outside the city limits of Beverly Hills. Murray’s expertise and artistic abilities were quickly discovered by some of the most prestigious Southern California interior designers and their wealthy clients. To meet the increased demand, Murray established an apprenticeship program similar to the education he had received as a young man in Europe. As the number of Master Blacksmiths in the workshop slowly increased, the type of work changed from residential gates and railings to include furniture and lighting not only for designers, but also as private-label pieces for showrooms along Melrose and Robertson.

In 1987, fueled by hotel designer James Northcutt, who introduced Murray’s Iron Works to his colleagues Howard Hirsch of Hirsch-Bedner, and Robert Barry of Barry Design, Murray’s Iron Works saw tremendous growth and began supplying hotel furniture and lighting for four and five star hotels around the World.

Two years later, the workshop moved to Culver City, California and the former workshop on Melrose was converted to a beautiful showroom designed by Northcutt and renowned architect Gary Koerner of Three Architecture in Dallas. From the original five employees, the production staff increased to nearly 150. In addition to Los Angeles, Murray’s opened Residential showrooms establishing locations in Design Centers around the United States and a company owned showroom on Fulham Road in London. Murray’s eventually had showroom representation in multi-line showrooms in Tokyo, Toronto, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, New York, Denver, Scottsdale, Las Vegas and Bloomfield Hills.

In 2001, the workshop, now housed in 19 buildings in Culver City on Blackwelder Street, moved to South Central Los Angeles and a newly renovated single 210,000 square foot facility.
