What Diapo so successfully offer are holistic solutions to your design intent from the initial phase to the final stage of the project.
Excellence, dedication and pride in our work ensure our full commitment through to the final stage of a project. For over two decades, we have been crafting exceptional architectural metalwork that transforms spaces and stands the test of time.
Our Founder
Nathan Abbey
"I founded Diapo with a simple belief: that traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design are not opposites. They are partners."
The journey began in 2001 at Temple Street, where a small workshop became the foundation for what Diapo is today. With nothing but a vision and a commitment to excellence, we started creating bespoke metalwork that would define London's most prestigious spaces.
The move to Hackney Wick marked a new chapter. More space meant more possibilities, and with it came the opportunity to take on larger, more ambitious projects while never losing sight of the craftsmanship that started it all.
Today, our team has grown, but the values remain the same. Every staircase, every railing, every piece of architectural metalwork carries the same attention to detail that Nathan instilled from day one.
