Why You Should Consider Using Wire Mesh in Your Design
Perhaps you’ve seen us post beautiful images of Wovenpanel® on social. Maybe you’ve noticed the way it can transform a space with a sophisticated appeal. Then again, if you work in the design industry, you’ve likely heard the buzz about the fantastic design potential of wire mesh. From America to Europe, and here to the shores of New Zealand, this one-of-a-kind decorative surface is being used in spectacular ways.
If you’re wondering how or why you should use Wovenpanel® in your design, you’ll find some great insight here. We’ll talk about some of the most clever ways we’ve seen it applied in recent projects, and also share some tips on how you can do the same. These examples encompass both residential and commercial spaces as wire mesh is versatile enough for interiors of all kinds. What’s all the fuss over wire mesh about?
At Archant, we’re passionate about sharing great design and empowering you to achieve the same in your projects. If you’re looking to make a statement, Wovenpanel® is a great choice to do so.

Wire Mesh Offers Style, but Practical Benefits as Well
One of the most interesting aspects of Wovenpanel® is that it can be used in a huge variety of applications. With some creative vision, it’s possible to craft just about anything from wire mesh. Best of all, the mesh serves an important dual purpose by adding both beauty, and practicality.
We’ve recently seen designers incorporate wire mesh successfully in balustrading, staircases, kitchen cabinets, wrap-around for kitchen islands and reception areas, space dividers, light fixtures, planter boxes, and so much more. Again, this is just the start of what’s possible. How can you see this material being used to upscale your project?

Challenge Expectations with Cutting-Edge Designs
If you look through our collection of available Wovenpanel® options, you’ll notice there’s no shortage of potential for customising your application. From opaque to transparent mesh patterns, to different metals and finishes, this is anything but a generic element. If you’re like many of our clients and are looking to make your space stand apart from the rest, architectural wire mesh can help you achieve that.
Why settle for the same old routine when you can add a splash of brilliance to your space? It’s not necessarily about being flashy or over-the-top with ornate details. In fact, one of the benefits of wire mesh is how effective it is at making an understated impact.
As designer Joe Sparano notes, “Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent.”
