Industrial Benches
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.

Outdoor public bench model "Perforano" silver painted steel Spanish design
Located in Barcelona, ES
The Perforano bench is the evolution of the Catalano, one of the few pieces of Spanish design that have never been bettered and which can be expected to remain commercially viable.
DETAILS
The fundamental change consists in replacing the ‘deployé’ with perforated sheet steel. “We thus lose elasticity and use more material, but the seat gains a less aggressive texture and is much more resistant to corrosion and vandalism”. On the basis of this change in the material, the structure and the length of the module have also been modified, giving rise to a new handling of the aesthetic. The secret of this bench lies in its well known virtues, its ergonomic shape, wisely adapted from the bench Antoni Gaudí designed for Güell Park. On the basis of the 123 cm module benches of any length can be assembled, single or back-to-back, using the type of leg desired.
