John Beck Paper & Steel

Some people find steel cold and impersonal when it comes to interior design. I, for one, find it to be quite the opposite — instead it screams chic, confident and strong. I like furniture that makes no apologies, and that’s exactly the kind of furniture that John Beck creates. His website showcases his bedroom, bathroom, living and dining room pieces, desks, mirrors and fireplace surrounds, and he’s recently added lighting to his already expansive and impressive portfolio with Light One (pictured above), which incorporates steel and vintage wire cloth to create a fixture that is decidedly warm and modern, not frigid and impervious. John welcomes commissions with open arms — check out the New & Special section of his site to get some inspiration for your very own custom piece.
