Faux bois began as an art form in 19th century France (hence its name, French for "fake wood"). New technology allowed for the combination of steel and concrete, which in turn was used to craft works imitating nature. Bridges, railings, and furniture could be made to look like the natural curve of a branch, a log, or a vine, complete with all of the knots and other indentations that typically come with such elements of the natural world.
