The phone rings early in the morning, and it’s a long-time client who treats our team of skilled craftsmen like family, continually lauding our work. It’s these types of clients we all have and all love and, of course, will drop anything to help. As I navigate my usual morning commute, I’m greeted by a forlorn sigh and the description of the freak-fire which destroyed their beloved outdoor living area (along with the home’s family room, kitchen, and master bedroom). Getting past the initial shock, we had to act quickly to ensure their safety. Quite the start to the morning. Challenges with this project run deeper than just the build: security of the entire affected area, good and sensitive communication, and navigating a pandemic lockdown can cause even the strongest-willed person to throw their hands up and call it quits. When the fire broke out, it took out the entire backyard and portions of the home, making the structure unlivable. We needed to mitigate the fire damage and make sure the house was secure against break-ins, but also, no damage existed that could cause harm to the neighbors. It’s these moments where relationships matter. The client needed a trusted and established partner to begin the rebuilding process. Professional knowledge is only one part of the puzzle. It’s here an empathetic ear, and extra solace goes far to remind the client all can be rebuilt. Lastly, none of us saw the difficulties a pandemic would bring. At a time when a person was about to use every square foot of their home to shelter-in-place, our client would be in the middle of a rebuild with no use of their beautiful outdoor living area to get through the day. Luckily, we were able to work with the city of Clyde Hill and continue through an emergency services waiver. What was done? The outdoor living area included a complete rebuild of the gazebo, including a large sitting area and fire pit. Stone patios were replaced, and additional stone was chosen to create a secondary, uncovered living area with a fire pit to enjoy during the summer months. The build is a testament to superb craftsmanship and design. However, we believe excellence also includes the holistic approach to listen deeply, empathize and understand a client’s history, external pressures of the world, and build community and relationship.

A light, airy, and serene Primary Bedroom retreat. Transformed during the COVID lockdown, the client desired a personal retreat that felt exotic when travel was impossible. Large-scale travel images set the tone for the layers of texture and color in this Primary Bedroom space.

A new wave of rattan outdoor furniture has landed. The project docked in North Naples amid our lockdown. With tailor made sectionals that fit like a glove into the niche outdoor space and deck chairs that never looked so swell. For starters, this successful coastal style was a perfect fit for the owner who loves clutter-free surfaces, nautical-inspired flourishes and enjoys finishes with luminescent light bouncing about, hence the use of a fair amount of glass tops. Navy wavy blue wicker, back dropped with warm golds from the walls of the home, natural tones, Sunbrella creams and of course, scatter cushions that bring it all together, these are hallmarks of the clients’ personal coastal style, creating a calm and brilliantly realized space for maximum relaxation. Although this Naples home is not located or in close proximity to the beach, the space played to the vibes with a nautical theme in place. Details are at the heart of all Shape of Wicker Rattan/Wicker outdoor furniture. Blink and you could miss the stitching, the weaving to perfection and idiosyncratic styling touches that make our custom outdoor furniture and accessories such great examples of unique contemporary custom design. With the lavish employment of materials as diverse as powder coating aluminium to velcro details; attaching high end durable custom outdoor fabrics and canvas fabric to the main frame, see tray backing to keep dust and crumbs in place, to keeping the chaise lounge cushions in place without shifting an inch , with a pocket overhead rest area and velcro to keep the foot end attached to main frame, defying the high winds, (no cushions overboard here!) At Shape of Wicker we have produced and delivered a range of high end custom outdoor projects that speak to home owners, designers and beyond. Shape of Wicker’s all weather rattan sectionals, chaise lounges, coffee tables and accessories speak volumes through their chic simplicity. The new generation of outdoor custom goods features understated, contemporary designs that let the Client, materials and fabrics do the talking. This outdoor space is everything we love about outdoor design. An open canvas of layout with clean lines. A challenge or two to overcome, regarding best space design , but the plus of a to-die-for pool area to play around with. The custom wicker accents and simple palette provided the perfect backdrop for the stunning double mirrored sectional, which makes a big statement with an unexpected burst of elegance and nautical color for the overall space.

Using the Let's Decorate App this client sent me these photos and measurements of her current layout. I created a new space plan to create more room for her workout. The client is currently in lockdown and is using this guest room as her workout space. she also loves gray and blue but really wanted a pop of color which we created with the pillows.
