Modern Wicker Furniture

LifestyleArt, Design & FashionModern Wicker Furniture

The art and craft of wicker is still taught to keep this traditional art form alive. Although modern technology makes the production process more efficient, all wicker furniture is still handmade, keeping quality and craftsmanship a staple of this ancient art form. Modern wicker furniture is seen to be sleek, artful, and improved from the past historical materials and techniques used.

Modern wicker tends to follow Mission Style Furnishing trends that originated in 1894. Mission style furniture placed an emphasis on simple horizontal and vertical lines and flat panels that accentuated the grain of the wood. This came directly after the Victorian Era where highly ornate and elaborate decor was fashionable. After this period, consumers were looking for simpler designs. Today, we see the same emphasis being placed on modern and contemporary wicker furnishings.
