\"Gaurav<\/a>
Gaurav Nanda, founder of Bend Goods<\/a>, in the firm\u2019s Los Angeles showroom and design studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coming up with a version of an iconic mid-century piece that garners the approval of both the design world and the masses is a pretty tall order. But not, it seems, for Gaurav Nanda, founder of the Los Angeles\u2013based design studio Bend Goods<\/a>, which turns out sleek indoor-outdoor wire furnishings made with hand-bent recycled iron and powder-coated in technicolor shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nanda knew from early on that he would end up running his own business. He credits his mother and father with serving as models. \u201cI come from a family of entrepreneurs,\u201d says Nanda, who was born and raised in Detroit, where his parents ran a community newspaper press. \u201cIt\u2019s totally different from what I\u2019m doing now, but it was fun to see that evolve and grow as a kid.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lucy
Nanda\u2019s first design, the Lucy chair<\/a>, was inspired by the iconic Bertoia chair<\/a> and is the progenitor of many Bend Goods pieces.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even so, Nanda didn\u2019t immediately venture out on his own. After college, he worked as an automotive designer for General Motors in Michigan, crafting vehicle interiors and exteriors. \u201cIt was really all about shapes,\u201d he says. \u201cWe were using 3-D software, so a lot of the work was in wire frames, and you\u2019re taking that wire mesh and creating a shape out of it to get the vehicle’s form.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven years later, Nanda was ready to shift gears and conceived the chair that would propel him into a furniture design career. \u201cI loved the Bertoia chair<\/a>, and I originally thought about using it in my own home,\u201d he says. \u201cBut I thought maybe I wanted to do something different, to mix it up. I had some ideas, so I started drawing and sketching and came up with the Lucy chair<\/a>.\u201d That design set the tone for Bend Goods’ signature sculptural, geometric aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took Nanda a couple of years to finalize his concept and locate a manufacturer to produce a prototype that checked all his boxes for design and comfort. \u201cOne of the things we did with the Lucy chairs is that we kept the wires of the seat very close together,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen you sit on it, you can’t really tell that you\u2019re sitting on wire as much as on other chairs where the spacing is much larger.\u201d He chose iron as a material for environmental as well as aesthetic reasons. It\u2019s highly recyclable, he points out, adding that sustainability is very important to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucy\u2019s innovative wire construction, along with its geometric patterning and clean-lined base, caught the attention of the editors at the Apartment Therapy<\/em> website. They spotlighted the chair in a feature, establishing it as a cool, functional design piece with a minimalist millennial edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucy took off. Nanda had just moved to Los Angeles from Detroit, and requests for the chair began pouring in from home retailers and, eventually, restaurants. Over the years, even tech giants, including Facebook and Google, have sought out multiple examples for their offices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"bistro
The bold shapes of Bend Goods’ designs are matched with statement-making colors, from citrus orange to cobalt blue. Here, a Bistro tabl<\/a>e is joined by a pair of citrus-hued Betty chairs<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat one chair led to five other full pieces,\u201d Nanda says of his debut collection, which launched nearly a decade ago and included a dining chair, two lounge chairs and a side table. \u201cWe\u2019ve carried the wire spacing through most of the products,\u201d he adds. \u201cThat gives them the same kind of comfort but also a cohesive aesthetic quality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vibrant palette has also been a feature since the beginning. \u201cI wanted to make a statement with a really bright orange for the chair, and that was kind of the start of it,\u201d he says. The palette now includes the full spectrum of primary and pastel hues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"peacock
The firm’s fresh take on the classic Peacock chair<\/a> sports geometric cutouts and unexpected colors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nanda sees his experience in 3-D sculpting at GM as formative for his early designs. \u201cIn a way, it\u2019s very similar here,\u201d he says of the process at Bend Goods. He points to the development of the firm’s Peacock chair<\/a> as an example of that process. \u201cWe looked at the rattan peacock chairs<\/a> from the \u201970s, and we changed the profile and the base a little bit to give it a different shape altogether,\u201d he explains. His team then worked out a flow for the wiring to provide comfortable support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s a lot about the patterns you can create with the wire. That has played a large part. You can create basically any type of shape that you want,\u201d he says. \u201cI also love the fact that you can see through the wires. In a big room, there\u2019s no obstruction, because you\u2019re seeing through everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
