Bend is on a mission to create designs that are superbly crafted, delight you aesthetically, and shape your life. Our philosophy has always been to design pieces that are equally as beautiful as they are functional. These attributes are in the forefront of our minds as we strive to make unexpected products that evolve with our customers.

 Our contract grade and BIFMA tested products are versatile enough to fit into any interior or exterior setting. From a residential backyard to a five-star restaurant, Bend pieces can blend seamlessly into the most modern and/or distinctly traditional of spaces. All of our designs are hand bent and spot welded using recyclable metals before being electroplated or powder coated with durable and eco-friendly materials. For those who want something a little more unique, all of our products are customizable, in both color and design, for us to help you create a made-to-measure piece for your space.

Founded in 2010 by Gaurav Nanda - Bend is a product of his fascination with fusing beauty with utility. Growing up, Nanda was surrounded by creativity with a Mother who made Macrame wallhangings and a Father who pursued entrepreneurial endeavors. As he grew older he began to experiment with different mediums of artwork and fell in love with creating pottery. Nanda's love of crafting designs from clay stayed with him throughout his life, but as he advanced in his education he encountered a life long dilemma that every twenty-something has to confront: getting a job.

Upon graduating from Purdue University, he took a position as an Automotive Sculptor for General Motors. During his time at G.M. Nanda designed and built vehicle models both by hand and by using new computer technology. This aspect of the job allowed him to understand the application of technical functionality to art and design. Sculpture and modeling were no longer just a way to aesthetically express himself, but rather a way to make his imaginative designs a reality. After seven years Nanda found himself at a crossroads: either stay at his job and continue on the corporate track or take a risk and pursue a career in the design world. We bet you can guess what happened…

 After deliberating how to apply his technical experience to art and design it struck him: furniture is functional artwork. One year, many prototypes, and a move to Los Angeles later - Bend was born. Those original designs focused on integrating distinct patterns, comfort, and versatility into furniture and accessories made of wire. As we expanded our line from one chair to over thirty products we always stayed true to those original intentions established by Nanda and the founding Bend team.

 The Bend design philosophy blends form and function with injections of fun and funkiness. We say that our pieces are "Built like a Buffalo" and can stand up to years of use for your continual enjoyment! Bend pieces are made of Hot-Dipped Galvanized Iron that is then powder coated or electroplated to create the finished product. If you are looking for even sturdier materials we offer Stainless Steel as a material option for coastal and harsh environments.

All of our various finish and material options are commercial grade. Any chair, table or accessory from Bend will stand up to the wear and tear of commercial use to make sure that our pieces age gracefully with your business. Whatever the situation may be, Bend has you covered with the longest lasting and coolest furnishings in the game!
