Dutch design outfit Demakersvan has attempted to remedy the cold industrial feel of the chain link fence by adding an unexpected flourish of beauty to the standard security device. Re-routing the repetitive diamond pattern of the fence into a needlepoint-esque organic design, the &#8220;Lace Fence&#8221; concept brings some sorely needed beauty into this ubiquitous element of urban space.
