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.

Prototype for Upon Unikat-Wandgarderobe by Stefan Diez
By Stefan Diez
Located in NYC, NY
Stefan Diez's prototype for the Upon series wall luggage / coat rack is a remarkable sculpture in itself. This prototype is made of wood, but the production example developed for a German manufacturer is made in metal making this example very unique. An excellent example of new German craft, innovation and design. Pictures included show the fascinatingly unique and innovative process by which this was made.
Stefan Diez was born 1971 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. He worked shortly for Richard Sapper and later on two years for Konstantin Grcic before he opened his Munich office in 2003. (text by Andrej Kupetz and Stephan Ott)
