Corporate tenants in 589 5th Avenue, a 17-story mid-century building in Midtown Manhattan, now have new elevator cabs to complement their redesigned corridors and existing lobby. The cabs are clad with Banker Wire mesh, offering a sophisticated look with unmatched durability. For this project, Banker Wire’s DF-6 stainless steel woven metal mesh was the obvious choice.

Three of the four elevators that were redesigned and clad in Banker Wire’s architectural woven wire mesh DF-6 are for passengers, and the fourth elevator is specifically for freight deliveries. DF-6 architectural wire mesh is adept at providing style and durability simultaneously, achieved by alternating the orientation of the flat top cross wires in the DF-6 wire mesh pattern.

In addition, the appearance of Banker Wire’s DF-6 mesh pattern in stainless steel lends modern appeal to the space. DF-6 is a stand-out pattern, utilizing a unique play on a Dutch style weave. The pattern’s opacity changes depending on the viewer’s angle – when viewed straight on, the pattern is completely opaque, but at different angles it becomes more transparent – providing the elevator cabs with a striking and polished focal point. Frosted back-painted glass, LED lights and terrazzo tile complete the striking look of the newly designed elevators.

Using the DF-6 decorative wire mesh in this elevator shows just how much it can enhance both the look and functionality of interior spaces. The intricate patterns and sturdy structure of the metal mesh not only catch the eye but also promise long-lasting durability.

Wire mesh is set to be a game-changer in the future of interior design. Its versatility opens up endless creative possibilities, allowing designers and architects to really stretch their imaginations. By incorporating wire mesh into our projects, we can create spaces that are not only practical and safe but also visually stunning and timeless.
