HOME DESIGN TRENDS Wire & Mesh

09.14.15

Design by a Chameleon

The industrial look continues to be a popular trend for interiors and recently there's recently been a huge influx of wire and mesh furniture and accessories coming on the market.

Its stripped-back structure and subtle appeal that mixes well with any era or design style, makes it the perfect addition to any interior space. We've seen such a variety of pieces that we love, from woven tables and mesh chairs to light fixtures.

Here are some of my favorite wire and mesh home accents.

Harlowe Wire Pendant, Bronze finish at Pottery Barn

Molten glass is hand blown into an iron farm-wire frame to create this pendant, replicating the repeating hexagons of a honeycomb.

Vintage Brass Finish Iron Wire Accent Table, 55 Downing Street

In a vintage brass finish over iron wire, this striking accent table will be a new focal point in your decor.

Woodard Wrought Iron with Mesh Settee, 1st Dibs

Created by Russell Woodard in the 1950's, this classic piece is in excellent condition.

5 Drawer Mesh Wire Storage, Cheungs

This is a great and affordable accent cabinet.

Bertoia Barstool, Knoll

Bertoia Barstool, part of the designer's iconic 1952 wire collection. This astounding study in space, form and function by one of the master sculptors of the last century is the quintessential modern barstool.
