Industrial Seating
Industrial Style
Industrial-style furniture has 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 furnishings 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. Patina is the keynote to a decor in sync with such surroundings. On 1stDibs you will find designs that wear their age beautifully — and were built to last.

The Original Swing-Out Seat with Unfinished Alder
Located in Oakville, CT
Redolent of the cafeteria tables found in early-20th-century schools and factories, The Get Back Original Swing-Out Seat is our hallmark product—proudly sand cast and made in America with premium ductile iron.
This versatile heritage piece lies at the heart of the industrial-modern aesthetic of American furniture. Build these distinctive wall-mounted stools into your vision for a man-cave bar or kitchen-island. Designers have found they are the perfect alternative-seating solution for their commercial projects like beer gardens, communal-dining restaurants, and coffeehouse cafes.
The 12” diameter alder wood seat is left raw for you to finish to your taste, or ipe is available and recommended for outdoor installations. The cast-iron assembly is painted satin black. Our rule of thumb for spacing is “one seat every two feet.”
Stress tested in excess of 1,000 pounds.
Seat depth measures 12 1/2" when pushed in, 26" when swung out.
Width including seat and bracket measures 24".
Height from bottom of mounting plate to top of seat measures 10 3/4".
Spec sheet and Base plate mounting scan available upon request.
The Swing out Seat is also known as, or has been called: Suspended Swing Out Kitchen Stool, Space Saving Stool, Wrought Iron Stool, Swing Stools...

Late 20th Century Industrial Barstools Steel Blue Faux Leather & Chrome Set 5
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome vintage Industrial medical or dental barstools by A-Dec with steel blue faux leather and adjustable height & swivel, set of 5. Comprised of chrome arm/seat & lower base shaft, cast aluminum ring footrest & 5 prong base on black & gray plastic casters. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been redone, restored, or refinished. Specifically, the knobs on the backs slightly differ in style, one of the seats has a little nick in the vinyl, & there is slight fading on the vinyl. We did polish the aluminum legs to some extent but left some patina. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century.
