About Us
Who We Are
Bend Goods is a Los Angeles-based design studio dedicated to the intersection of sculptural form and structural engineering. We design and manufacture furniture for work, home, and community—pieces defined not just by their shape, but by their proportion and presence.
We first redefined the possibilities of metal with the Lucy Chair, a wire-work icon that earned a permanent place in the LACMA collection. Our pieces have since become staples of the architectural landscape, featured in landmarks like John Lautner’s Sheats-Goldstein residence. Today, that same spirit of innovation drives our evolution from the transparency of wire to the architectural weight of our Bold Tube collections.
The Vision
Founded in 2010 by Gaurav Nanda, Bend Goods is the realization of a lifelong obsession with the "art of the bend." A sculptor and visual designer by trade, Nanda’s perspective was sharpened during his time as an automotive sculptor at General Motors. There, he mastered the discipline of translating complex, fluid lines into rigid, functional structures.
At Bend, Nanda applies this technical precision to furniture. Our work is a study in Proportion—the delicate relationship between thin and thick, light and heavy, open and solid. Every piece is an exploration of how a line can occupy space, shifting scale and form to create modern gestures that are as expressive as they are structurally sound.
