Trend Report: Industrial Edge
Apr
Industrial-themed interiors have taken the design world by storm over the last number of years. A sophisticated nod to clean cut minimalism with a twist, there’s a strong emphasis on practicality and pared back colours that accentuate the comfort that comes with the ‘less is more’ way of looking at interiors.
Warmth is conveyed through use of raw materials such as fine woods and the combination of comfortable yet simple seating options.
Relying on exposed brickwork, concrete, wood, iron etc., industrial design can be softened by introducing soft-colour palettes around the home and adding some greenery to bring the room to life.
Fancy giving this trend a try at home? We’ve pulled together some of our favourite, industrial-themed looks to inspire you.
The Kansas Dining Chair
The Kansas Dining Chair and Kansas Bench, is crafted from a sturdy yet sumptuous, semi-aniline leather, with a high backrest and cushioned seats for maximum comfort. Add a little bit of old-world charm into a contemporary space with these strikingly designed dining chairs. A comfortable seat with distinctive stitching sits atop gold/black metal legs, a striking contrast.
The connected black metal legs on this Century Extending Dining Table give it an industrial edge, which nicely contrasts the warm tone of the wooden top. Handy for additional guests, or the option of more space when you need it, the table extends out to a 2.3m size, adjusting to meet your needs and the space available. With a matching bench in the same style, the two together create a striking aesthetic, ideal for a modern home focused on interesting details and the use of hard-wearing materials.
A combination of a natural wood finish and a sturdy industrial metal frame in deep black makes the Century Bookcase a real statement piece for any home. Four spacious shelves, backed with support panels, span the length of this tall unit – making it an ideal display space, as well as a home for your mini library.
Factory Station Clock
We love the Factory Black Station Clock, a super-stylish piece of homeware that channels a very on-trend, industrial themed aesthetic. The factory clock is built on a solid steel case which is made to last. The silent mechanism, glass front, aged dial, and strong hands round up the high-quality components.
