Hot Trend: Lace-Like Furniture and Home Accessories, Durable Yet Delicate Decor

Ah! Lace! That delicate, open-weave fabric, with it€™s complicated, flowery construction! It is an ancient fiber that often conjures up images of femininity, fineness, and often, fragility, in many a mind. Quite recently, Stylehivers have been adding a large number of furniture and home accessory bookmarks by lace-loving contemporary furniture and home accent designers including Simas Terri Pecora, Marcel Wanders, Patricia Urquiola, Ilaria Marelli and Diana Eugeni Lucciolo. Artists such as these have been adding delicate-looking lace motifs to a variety of hard surfaces, such as bathroom sink basins, occasional chairs, side tables, and even drink coasters! These contemporary, lace-inspired products utilize modern, extremely durable materials and textures, such as rubber, acrylic plastic, or galvanized steel and turning the notion of something lace-like being delicate or fragile completely on it€™s flowery little head.
