This Metal Lounge Chair Modernizes Rooms While Resembling a Schoolyard Fence

— September 7, 2015 — Art & Design
While chain-link may not sound like the comfy or coziest of materials for furniture, the WM metal lounge chair is a topic of design conversation. The chair's metal grid pattern resembles a schoolyard fence, bringing a contemporary air to any space.

While somewhat harsh and cold looking, the wide back of the chair provides room for a luxurious cushion or a beautiful throw to be placed. By accessorizing the metal piece of furniture with wool or cotton pillows, the simple object can transform into a mixed-media centerpiece for any room. The minimalist metal lounge chair acts as a modern update for any room that has grown a little boring.

Menu's metal lounge chair is also available in a smaller version, the WM String Dining chair, available in both white and black.
