Artistic Diseños
What began in 1974 as a small garage operation by Colombian immigrant Misael “Tony” Martinez has grown into a respected company known for exceptional workmanship, reliability, and attention to detail. Under Mr. Martinez’s leadership, Artistic Diseños established a reputation for delivering custom ornamental iron solutions that combine beauty, strength, and lasting value.
​
In 2022, the torch was passed to longtime employee and protégé Javier Lugo, who began working at Diseños at just 13 years old after emigrating from San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Through dedication, precision, and a strong work ethic, Mr. Lugo went on to build his own successful company, Artistic Iron Works, before returning to acquire and merge both businesses into what is now Artistic Diseños Inc.
​
Today, we continue that legacy by providing custom ornamental iron fabrication alongside professional powder coating services. From railings, fences, gates, balconies, staircases, and structural metalwork to durable powder-coated finishes, we offer complete solutions designed to enhance, protect, and extend the life of metal products.
​
As a minority-owned business, over half of our team proudly represents Detroit, bringing local pride, diverse experience, and skilled craftsmanship to every project. Whether fabricating custom ironwork or applying high-performance powder coating finishes, we are committed to delivering quality, durability, and customer satisfaction.
​
At Artistic Diseños, our passion for metal craftsmanship lives on in every project we create, every weld we make, and every finish we apply.
Driven by passion. Finished in perfection.
Leveraging decades of design experience (and a little artistry), our founders partnered with top industry artisans to build a powder coating service grounded in craftsmanship and convenience.
We uphold the same quality and precision that made our custom ironwork trusted for generations — now applied to durable, professionally finished metal surfaces. The result? Powder-coated pieces that are not only visually striking, but also built to last with long-term performance and protection in mind.
