Artisanal Abode - Hand Woven Metal Furniture & Objects

The Weaving in Metal collection begins with a paradox: How can metal - A material defined by strength and permanence, embody the suppleness and lightness of textile? By reimagining the traditional craft of basket weaving in stainless steel, brass & copper, the collection redefines both material and technique, transforming the rigid into the fluid, the cold into the unexpectedly inviting. This process has led to a growing library of woven structures, each with its own visual rhythm and structural behaviour. Some create dense architectural surfaces, while others become light, almost textile-like forms that respond beautifully to light and shadow. Today, the woven metal collection boasts of a variety of Consoles, Armchairs, Tables, Sofas, Lamps, Mirrors, and other statement pieces. CONTINUUM — Woven Metal Floor Lamp This lamp explores the idea of an endless surface through Artisanal Abode’s signature practice of weaving in metal. Inspired by continuous loops and orbital movement, the sculptural shade twists and folds around a slender central axis, appearing to have neither a beginning nor an end. Handwoven in stainless steel and brass, the piece transforms rigid metal into something unexpectedly fluid and textile-like. As light passes through the intricate weave, the structure becomes both object and atmosphere, casting shifting patterns of light and shadow across its surroundings. CONTINUUM brings together Indian craft, material experimentation and contemporary collectible design, challenging conventional perceptions of metal through a process rooted in the language of hand weaving. Material: Stainless Steel & Brass Technique: Handwoven Metal Design: Artisanal Abode Presented during: London Design Festival 2026 / Shoreditch Design Week HOUNDSTOOTH WOVEN METAL CONSOLE A study in material contrast and contemporary craftsmanship, this console brings together the warmth of dark timber with the precision and texture of hand-woven metal. The wooden top, finished in a deep brown-black tone, is shaped with subtly faceted edges that give the otherwise minimal silhouette a sculptural character. Below, two slender architectural legs frame panels of intricately hand-woven stainless steel. The rhythmic weave transforms a traditionally soft, textile-like construction into a strong metallic surface, allowing light to catch each overlapping strip and reveal the depth of the craftsmanship. Restrained in form yet rich in detail, the console is designed so that the weave remains the focal point. The dark timber provides a quiet counterpoint to the luminosity of the metal, creating a collectible piece that sits comfortably between furniture, craft and functional sculpture. Materials: Hand-woven stainless steel, solid/veneered wood in a deep brown-black finish Dimensions: 40" W × 15" D × 30" H Technique: Hand Weaving in Metal TAPESTRY PANELS IN WOVEN METAL A sculptural exploration of metal transformed through the language of textile, this trio of hand-woven wall panels reimagines the softness, rhythm and movement of traditional weaving in an unexpected material. Individual strips of stainless steel, brass and copper are woven by hand into distinct geometric compositions, allowing each metal to retain its own character brass brings warmth, copper develops a rich earthy luminosity, while stainless steel captures and reflects its surroundings. The deliberately loose, cascading edges reveal the individual strands of the weave, giving the otherwise rigid material an almost fringed, textile-like fluidity. Suspended at varying heights, the three panels overlap to form a layered installation that changes continually with light and viewpoint. Reflections travel across the woven surfaces, accentuating the irregularities of the handmade process and creating an interplay of pattern, shadow, transparency and sheen. Together, the works sit between tapestry and sculpture, craft and collectible design.
