Insteel

Insteel is a Chinese furniture brand working in metal, based at Yingbin Avenue West in the Huadu District of Guangzhou. Its stated approach is to present a way of thinking about urban life in the aesthetic language of metal: products start from the objects of industrial city life and are reworked until they carry a romantic, poetic impression, setting the logic of the machine against the human need for nature.

The collection includes the Garden Chair, Lean On, Set, Ant Chair in bar-stool and two-seat bench versions, the Hammock Stool, CARRY, the Limb-seater outdoor sofa and the Konstrukt Sofa. Two narrative chapters frame the catalogue — the garden as a man-made piece of nature, and the daily imagination drawn from industry and reinforced concrete — and the pieces move between indoor and outdoor use, in seating and sofas.
