The current resurgence of industrial-style furniture is a powerful movement within the various trends that come and go each year. It’s a sustained growth of interest in this style, driven by modern living and homes with a deliberate rough finish, such as exposed pipe work or concrete worktops and floors.
Industrial-style furniture is named in line with its original purpose, to support the manufacturing industry. In 1760 the Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain and spread to other parts of the developed world. The invention of new machines leads to mass production and new factories. The key factor here is that workers switched from using manual hand tools to operating machines and need pieces like drafting tables, stools, and carts to move materials.
The overriding features of industrial furniture were then, and still are that it was simple, practical, easy to mass produce and made to withstand harsh working conditions. The furniture often incorporated raw materials such as iron and had an unfinished feel, and again with a nod to the environment, the pieces often utilised reclaimed timber or metalwork. Today, Industrial styles can be found everywhere from vintage markets to modern furniture retail outlets and can enable everyone to enjoy the sturdy, worn yet incredibly stylish look in their own homes.
