Industrial Chairs
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.

Hello There Desk Chair by Jeremy Harvey for Artifort, 1970s
By Artifort
Located in Barcelona, ES
Explore the fusion of industrial style and Italian modernism with this "Hello There" desk chair designed by Jeremy Harvey for Artifort, an iconic piece that captures the essence of 20th century design.
Made entirely of steel, this chair features a distinctive design with the words "Hello" and "There" artistically integrated into the backrest and seat. This feature not only adds a touch of bold style but also reflects the creativity and innovative approach of the era.

From Italy, this icon of modernist design has earned a place in furniture history for its unique combination of functionality and aesthetics.
Over the years, the chair has developed a natural patina that complements its age and significant use. In some areas, the glossy paint has begun to peel at the edges, revealing its history and adding authentic vintage charm.

Iron and Woven Rush Pilot or Passenger Seat from a circa 1920s Aircraft
Located in Chicago, IL
This pilot's or passenger's seat from a circa 1920s airplane is an excellent example of early 20th century industrial design. The frame is made from rod iron, and the seat and back are woven rush. The rear of the seat back has a cleverly integrated map pocket of the same woven material. The legs bend at the bottom to form feet, which have holes to allow them to be secured to the floor of the aircraft. The design is an elegant and functional solution to the specific needs of light weight plus strength.
We purchased this piece from the estate of a collector of aviation related items. It was only identified as an airplane chair...
