Who says you always need furniture that’s only made of hard wood and durable stone? Wire furniture can be just as sleek and stylish thanks to their clean lines and smooth angles. In most cases, you can see right through them as well—you can see what’s on the other side and you won’t have to guess what you have stowed away on a shelf. And wire furniture in most cases is made of strong but lightweight metal, meaning that the pieces are easier to move when you’re cleaning and rearranging (read: fewer pulled muscles).
Below is a sneak preview of some wire furniture and accents that will be spotlighted in our fall issue. Scroll through to see which ones you like and the ones you hope to add to your space!
