Function and Style Combine in Bend’s Wire Decor

Today’s post is dedicated to Los Angeles-based furniture and design studio Bend, which was founded in 2010 by sculptor, designer and entrepreneur Gaurav Nanda. Crafted from recyclable, sustainable resources, Bend products are as comfortable and easy to assemble as they are stylish. Thanks to a construction of hot-dipped galvanized iron, rust is prevented, and the items range from furniture and lighting to baskets and accessories. Below we’ll highlight a few new finds, as well as tried and true Bend products available in new colors…

Pendant Lighting

There’s no doubt that pendant lighting can provide the perfect focal point to a room, and with Bend selections such as the Array Pendant Lighting shown below, metal geometry reigns!

At the core of the pendant’s design is hot-dipped galvanized iron, and a powder-coated or metal-plated finish provides white, copper and aqua color options.

If you’re on the hunt for something smaller, Bend’s Mini Pendants offer the same striking design as the larger selections, yet in a petite form. Available in copper or chrome, the Mini Pendant looks great as a single statement or as part of a cluster!

Seating

Bend is known for its modern seating, and with offerings such as The Captain Chair, it’s easy to see why. Bold angles and soft curves create sleek silhouettes, and overlapping metal lines result in a unique interplay of geo forms. Below we see The Captain Chair decked out in the Captain Pad and Bikini cushions, sold separately:

Add the cusions for extra comfort, or go without to fully appreciate each line and angle. A sculptural item with a retro-meets-modern look, The Captain Chair is an instant conversation piece:

Baskets

With the 18″ Bend Baskets and 22″ Bend Baskets, storage has never been so stylish! Choose from neon yellow, neon red, white and copper finishes, or mix and match them for a radiant arrangement.

Bend Baskets are inspired by the baskets utilized by small villages for the collection of crops. Use them to hold towels in the bathroom, books in a child’s room, or a range of small items in any room of the house! Then again, you can always leave them empty to show off their sleek construction:
