These Innovative Sofa Designs are Made Entirely from Mesh Wires

These carbon fiber sofa designs by brilliant American designer Matthew Strong are simply breathtaking to look at. These couches strip away the need for material cushions, pillows and coverings by replacing fabric with sleek mesh wiring.

Strong takes aesthetic inspiration for his carbon fiber sofas from one of the most iconic designers of our time, Charles Eames. Eames was known for his modern and Art Deco furniture pieces that favored functionality and minimalism over frills and patterns. Strong's couches are made entirely from black carbon fiber that has been intricately woven together to create geometric shapes. The couches feature a mesh backing, seating and arm rests that are both comfortable and simple. The couch stands on a pair of industrial wooden legs that add a naturalistic look to these artistic couch designs.
