Lincoln Square is a new ten-story residential building in London, located within walking distance of many historical buildings and some of London’s oldest educational institutions. The overall building is intended to be modern, yet blend in with the historical nature of the area.  On the interior, Patricia Urquiola’s goal was to create a variety of unique spaces that were unified by subtle elements and themes, like woven wire mesh.

One of the striking features of the interior is a beautiful space divider fashioned out of wire mesh. Bent to perfection, this divider makes for a functional element while creating a display in the space. This wire mesh indeed has a very fine structure through which light can pass freely, but still, one senses that feeling of separation and privacy. This makes for openness and an airy feeling that sets the atmosphere.

Banker Wire’s M22-83 was used as interior space dividers throughout suites and a library within Lincoln Square. Specified in a luxurious stainless steel and bronze configuration, the double-woven mesh is created with a pair of nested helical, crimped woven wires to achieve its wavy, round shape. The softer lines of this mesh was the perfect choice for delicate decorative features as well as for architectural elements that served to provide just enough privacy without closing off a room.

The interior of Lincoln Square is characterized by a much more harmonious relationship with the materials. Sleek metal in the wire mesh finds warmth in wooden accents and soft textiles, setting the scene for a balanced atmosphere that creates an inviting feel to the entire space. Natural light adds beauty by highlighting the textures and colors of these materials.

Throughout the rest of the building, M22-83 is featured in many other areas such as the two lobbies, hallways, suites, and the library. Lincoln Square simply is a forerunner of how design thinking can alter space and view it from another dimension. At the center of it, the wire mesh space divider brought visual and functional interest. As more designers accept working with wire mesh, we witness this versatile material in much more modern and innovative interior designs.
