Industrial Furniture can be Antique, Retro, Vintage or simply a new piece with an Industrial Style.

Industrial furniture typically has a basic functional feel, steel, timber, raw materials, exposed nuts and bolts are typical of the trend towards heavy, robust furniture either upcycled from industry of the past or designed with an industrial style.

Industrial Style

The industrial style comes from the old industrial factories, warehouses and reflects the need for hard wearing and tough furniture and equipment, the colours and materials are key in this style often with black or unpainted steels and original hardwood timbers. When reclaimed some of this type of furniture can look fantastic and fit in any modern home.

Create an Industrial Look

Creating an industrial look requires a minimalist approach, the space should be clear of unnecessary furniture and fuss, brick walls exposed and if already in an old structure steel beams visible. Incorporating salvaged and recycled industrial pieces or furniture including desks, drawers, old leather chairs and metal lamps will take you a long way in your design journey.

One thing to remember is that industrial furniture can be extremely heavy, it might last a lifetime but you will need some help to handle.
