Metal holds a specific kind of promise: strength, structure, and presence. When used without adornment it becomes part of the architecture of a room rather than its decoration. This week we explore furniture where steel, stainless metal and precision welding are showcased in pieces that use iron-works techniques to define both form and function.
WIRE CHAIR
Dan Svarth
The Wire Chair designed by Dan Svarth combines a hand-polished stainless frame with a woven carbon-fibre seat and back. The craftsmanship of welds and curves is exposed rather than hidden, offering a clean structure with subtle flexibility under weight. In a space where steel might feel cold, this chair invites discipline and comfort in equal measure.
JK 710 SKATER CHAIR
Jørgen Kastholm
By Jørgen Kastholm for Lange Production, the JK 710 Skater Chair returns to the hand of a design-blacksmith turned architect. His affinity for steel as material is visible in the cradling frame and upholstered shell that lean on steel’s capacity for tension and form. The result is seating that reads as architecture first, furniture second.
METAL BENCH
Ole Schjøll
The Metal Bench speaks the language of structural metal without exaggeration. The hand-polished double arches of the stainless steel seat and legs allow the material to deliver strength and refinement. This carefully crafted bench demonstrates how raw materials can be shaped into something refined and striking. Also available in red, yellow or blue powder-coated finish.
PK25
Poul Kjærholm
Poul Kjærholm’s PK25 demonstrates a masterful use of steel as primary material. A continuous steel frame supports braided halyard seating: steel becomes surface, surface becomes structure. Kjærholm considered steel a material of equal artistic merit to wood and leather. The PK25 continues that legacy with clarity.
WIRE TABLE
Ole Schjøll
Designed by Ole Schjøll for A. Petersen, the Wire Table brings the technique of steel bending and welding into the table plane. A frame of electrolytically polished steel supports a powder-coated metal top, creating a quiet platform that resists visual distraction yet asserts presence. It maps the raw character of iron-works through minimal geometry. Table top available in red, black or white.
