Pinkys Celebrates The Storied History Of Ironwork

Since 1978, Pinkys has been manufacturing iron doors and windows that celebrate Southern California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle and longstanding tradition of ironwork. “We want to preserve the storied history of ironwork here,” says Dion Der, noting the area’s many Spanish Colonial-style homes, “but we also want to enhance it with advancements that meet today’s standards: energy efficiency, safety and structural integrity.”

Der, who oversees the family company with his brother, Arin, is now furthering that legacy with a game-changing showroom model set within their manufacturing facility in Vernon. To realize the gallery, they brought on longtime client Jeremiah Brent. “We leaned into industrial elegance and found a way to frame their workspace so customers can imagine how the designs might look in their own homes,” says Brent, who sourced bold furnishings like 1960s Brutalist chairs and Mario Bellini sofas. A visit is a rewarding look at their latest offerings, like the sunset-hued California Collection, and a peek into one of SoCal’s most progressive architectural resources.
