Twig Furniture
“A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong.”
Twig furniture has probably been around longer than any of us realize. People are very resourceful and in the past created comfort from natural materials by necessity. Today, we choose this furniture for its charm.
The country decorating "style" of bentwood or willow furniture became popular in in the late 1800's as furnishings for rustic summer estates in the US northeast (Adirondack).
This style of furniture can be made from a variety of woods but willow is a popular choice.
Did you know there are more than 250 different species of willow around the world?
