Industrial Furniture
INDUSTRIAL STYLE
Industrial floor lamps, bar stools, desks and other industrial-style furnishings have experienced a resurgence in popularity with the rise of interest in minimalist design.
It's a look that celebrates the past even as it suggests vigor, productivity and brawn. The newly chic industrial style of decor repurposes the simple, sturdy furniture of an earlier world of commerce — brushed-metal storage cabinets and display shelves, task lamps and pendant lights with enameled shades, work tables with worn wooden tops and cast-iron bases — and couples them with aesthetic touches emblematic of energy and optimism, from bright upholstery fabrics to flowers.
The rise in prominence of the industrial style has come hand-in-hand with the residential repurposing of former manufacturing and warehouse districts throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. In many loft apartments created in shuttered factories, the architectural envelope has been left intact.
Industrial-style interiors feature elements like raw brick walls, exposed steel beams and oak floors whose history is written in every pit and gouge. Iron and glass transom windows give definition and interest to small kitchen areas anchored by kitchen islands made of marble, steel and brass, while taxidermy or vintage neon signs serve as wall art in living rooms dotted with leather club chairs. Patina is the keynote to a decor in sync with such surroundings.
On 1stDibs you will find industrial furniture designs that wear their age beautifully — and were built to last.

Vintage Industrial Large Duck Egg Green Factory Pendant By Thorlux
By Thorlux
Located in Nottingham, GB
Salvaged industrial factory pendants in a wonderful form and colour manufactured in Great Britain circa 1950 by Thorlux.
Hard to believe these were designed and manufactured for industrial settings, a reminder of the quality and effort that used to go into products when the world wasn't necessary living in a price driven market.
A stunning shape with vented necks which allow a gentle spill of light when illuminated topped of with polished aluminum galleries and not to forget the wonderful duck egg green enamel shades with just enough wear to remind use that these have lived a previous life.
Professionally restored & rewired with our black twist premium fabric cable
