Our Classic Collection has delighted both designers and homeowners for over six decades. True to the essence of traditional wicker furnishings, Classic embodies timeless elegance with a range of unique designs to address the varied needs of modern living.
At the heart of our Classic Collection is its signature braided edge, elegantly hand-woven into the structure of each piece. Our braiding is not merely an applied accent, but an integral part of the furniture’s construction, showcasing our attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship.
Back
Peter Rocchia founded The Wicker Works in 1972, and his visionary designs served a role in elevating wicker furnishings to a symbol of high-end elegance for the home. Inspired by a Roman frieze he encountered in Florence, which depicted a Roman seated in a wicker “bath chair,” Rocchia’s designs celebrate the timeless beauty and functionality of woven wicker.
At the heart of our legacy lies the Classic Collection— defined by its signature braided edge, which is masterfully hand-woven into the very structure of each piece. Our unique braiding process is so complex that it was patented, remaining exclusive to The Wicker Works for over two decades. Our furnishings stand as an enduring testament to our dedication to both quality and artistry.
