Indoor Modern Furniture — Wire & Aluminum Designs
Who is Bend Goods?
Bend Goods is a Los Angeles–based furniture design studio founded by Gaurav Nanda. Since 2010, we’ve created sculptural metal furniture for residential interiors, offices, and hospitality projects. Our signature wire chairs and aluminum tube furniture balance structural strength with visual lightness, making them a favorite among architects and interior designers worldwide.
What materials are used in indoor furniture collections?
Our indoor modern furniture is crafted from:
- Powder-coated steel wire — for sculptural, lightweight chairs and tables.
- Aluminum tubing with perforated sheet — for furniture with an architectural presence and higher durability.
All finishes are high-performance powder-coated, ensuring long-lasting color and scratch resistance.
How are wire chairs and aluminum tube tables manufactured?
- Wire Collection: Steel rods are precision-bent and welded into open geometric frames, creating durable yet visually light furniture.
- Tube Collection: Aluminum tubing is bent using precision machinery, welded together, and combined with perforated sheet panels for seating or tabletops. Both collections are finished with powder coating for color consistency and long-term durability.
What is the difference between Wire and Tube Collections?
- Wire Collection: Thin steel wire forms lightweight, sculptural designs ideal for indoor spaces or flexible layouts.
- Tube Collection: Aluminum tubing and perforated panels provide a stronger architectural presence, perfect for indoor or outdoor commercial applications.
Outdoor Commercial Furniture — Patios, Rooftops & Coastal Projects
Can Bend Goods furniture be used outdoors?
Yes. Both Wire and Tube Collections are suitable for modern outdoor furniture applications, including rooftop terraces, patios, pool decks, and restaurant patios. Powder-coated finishes protect the metal, while aluminum or stainless steel options provide additional durability for coastal and high-salt environments.
What materials should be specified for coastal or oceanfront projects?
For coastal environments with salt-heavy air (e.g., Oceanside restaurants or Miami rooftops), we recommend Stainless Steel 316 or aluminum tubing. While standard galvanized steel is rust-resistant, these materials ensure maximum longevity in harsh outdoor conditions.
Is Bend Goods furniture suitable for high-wind rooftop or elevated outdoor spaces?
Yes. The wire design is wind-transparent, allowing air to pass through open frames rather than catching like solid furniture. This makes our seating and tables stable and safe for rooftop bars, terraces, and elevated outdoor environments.
Trade & Contract Furniture — High-Traffic and Hospitality Solutions
How does the Lucy Chair perform in high-traffic commercial environments?
The Lucy Chair is engineered for restaurants, offices, and event spaces. It is BIFMA certified, tested to withstand 350 lbs of daily use, and comes in side chair, counter stool, bar stool, and stackable options. Its open wireframe keeps dense seating areas visually uncluttered.
Can furniture be customized for brand palettes or corporate identities?
Yes. Bend Goods offers:
- 200+ RAL powder coat colors
- Pantone matching for large-scale orders
This allows designers to align furniture with brand identity, corporate color schemes, or residential interiors.
Are there comfort-focused options for long-term seating?
Yes. We offer Sunbrella® seat pads and custom upholstery, handcrafted in Los Angeles to fit the contours of our wireframes. Perfect for conference rooms, long dinners, or office lounges.
What are typical lead times for large-scale or custom orders?
In-stock items: Ship within 48 hours from our Los Angeles warehouse.
Custom orders: Lead times generally 6–12 weeks, depending on finish, material, and quantity. Early coordination with our trade team is recommended.
Product Care & Maintenance — Indoor & Outdoor Furniture
How do I maintain Bend Goods furniture in high-touch indoor environments?
Our powder-coated finishes are non-porous, easy to sanitize with a damp cloth and mild soap, making them ideal for restaurants, cafes, offices, and high-turnover spaces.
How should outdoor or coastal furniture be maintained?
For outdoor use:
- Rinse periodically with fresh water to remove dust or salt deposits.
- UV-resistant finishes prevent fading in sun-exposed areas, ensuring long-lasting color vibrancy for rooftops, patios, and desert environments.
