October 15, 2008: Lace Fence

[xoxoxoBruce]

Fences are a necessary evil.
Sometimes they work as intended, good on one side and bad on the other, and sometimes they don't. Even high end, expensive fences are not all that pleasant to look at, and the kind most of us are exposed to are definitely not.

The ubiquitous chain link fence, while keeping your flora, kids, pets, and special three legged pig, from harms way, are boring and to many of us, ugly.

Demakersvan, a Dutch design firm, has a solution... Lace Fence, a chain link fence with patterns or pictures woven in.




Unfortunately, many of the cool things we see from design firms never make it to market, or at least markets most of us can afford. Demakersvan has set up a plant in India to make this fencing, so initially they will probably be making custom designs for high end markets, but maybe later they (or a Chinese knockoff company), will make a few standard designs for the masses.
