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 Gecoray F45000 Silvered Glass Wall Sconces by G.E.C
Located in Nottingham, GB
A STUNNING RUN OF GEC MERCURY GLASS WALL LIGHTS
PRICE IS PER LIGHT
These G.E.C "GECoRAY" silvered glass reflectors were originally designed for shop window displays.
Made in England circa 1950
The Silvered glass has wonderful patina and no shade is alike, the aluminium galleries, brass swan neck brackets and baseplate have all been finished to a high polish but are left untreated to age naturally.
Brochure images are taken from our 1951 G.E.C Handbook and the shades are not shown in the 1935 handbook, Glass type F45000 with aluminium gallery for high shallow windows and medium dressing.
Vintage lighting from G.E.C (The General Electric Company Limited) is a type of lighting fixture that was produced by one of the UK's oldest and most well-known electrical engineering companies. Founded in 1886, G.E.C specialized in the design and manufacture of electrical equipment, including lighting fixtures, generators, and electric motors. G.E.C was known for producing high-quality, reliable products that were designed to last for many years. Vintage lighting fixtures from G.E.C are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of vintage and industrial design. These fixtures often feature simple, functional designs with a focus on practicality and efficiency, such as pendant lights, wall sconces, and floor lamps. G.E.C lighting fixtures are typically made from high-quality materials such as brass, copper, and steel, and many feature distinctive detailing or labeling that identifies them as G.E.C products. Today, vintage G.E.C lighting fixtures are popular among those seeking to create an industrial, vintage, or antique-inspired look in their homes or commercial spaces. Many G.E.C lighting fixtures have been restored and repurposed for modern use, making them a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for those who appreciate the craftsmanship and history of vintage...
