Bold MFG & Supply. Modern Home Goods, Designed & Made In Austin, TX
The idea of Bold MFG & Supply began in the one-car garage of the founder, Jonathan Duke, back in 2008. Within weeks of their first child being born, he was laid off, and instead of looking for a job, he felt the intense need to build a business. Having recently completed a modern renovation of their 1950s ranch home, he became obsessed with the local architecture, design, and culture in Austin. Having built several custom items in the house, Jonathan set out to develop a line of products to capture the feeling of his city, and Austin Outdoor Studio was born. Almost immediately, custom requests started coming in, and the business changed direction to become a custom steel fabrication company focusing on craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and superb service. Within a few short years, the business became Steel House MFG, Austin’s leading fabrication shop. It would come to house a team of over 25 employees comprised of architects, designers, fabricators, and installers operating in a 15,000-square-foot facility. Along the journey, Bold MFG was created in 2011 and quickly became the vision for the company Jonathan always wanted. After ten years of building projects like the W Hotel, countless high-end homes, offices at Home Away, Dropbox, and Indeed, and even installing the Famous Willie Nelson Statue in front of Austin City Limits, Jonathan decided to sell Steel House MFG to get back to his roots. Having been a part of building Austin through its busiest growth period, he became inspired to offer the kinds of products only normally accessible to his previous customers. Great design and high-quality craftsmanship should be available to everyone.
"Austin had always been the inspiration for the company. This town has a special energy you feel immediately. It comes from our music, art, architecture, entertainment scene, and the laid-back yet refined style that spills out throughout our town. My goal is to capture this feeling and offer products inspired by Austin, build them here, and make them accessible to everyone".
