Designed to marry classic charm with contemporary sleekness, the Palisades Collection’s understated style radiates urban sophistication. With its sleek lines and thin profile, the collection speaks to the refined aesthetic of cityscapes, establishing it as a modern classic that transcends trends and resonates with contemporary tastes.
Crafted with meticulous care, Palisades offers more than just visual appeal; it promises quality you can feel. Our signature woven rattan wicker adds a layer of tactile luxury, creating a timeless retreat that’s as inviting as it is enduring. It’s not just about making a statement; it’s about creating an outdoor sanctuary where timeless craftsmanship meets modern comfort.
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.
