10 industrial style furniture for this fall

When old industrial buildings, with their exposed and unrefined structural elements, with their large continuous loft-like spaces, were converted into homes in New York in the 1960s, the keys to the Industrial style that still endures today were born.

And more alive than ever! Because Industrial style furniture not only does not go out of fashion, but continues to possess, unchanged, its quality of groundbreaking pieces. Now that temperatures are dropping, it is also possible to combine them in a way that also results in a warm and cozy interior; take a look at our list and be inspired by these ideas!

1. Cargo wood and metal shelving

Let’s face it: it’s not easy to find industrial-looking shelving that also dresses up the space – and doesn’t make it look like a mere warehouse. However, this is something that miraculously, the Cargo Industrial style furniture with a tubular structure made of metal with a transparent varnish finish, achieves to perfection. In addition, it has saw-cut mango wood shelves and drawers, which gives it that attractive ‘raw’ touch.

2. Butterfly Caramel Leather Armchair

The BKF chair, also known as Butterfly because of its appearance, which evokes a pair of wings, is a design icon. It is, therefore, one of those pieces with which it is impossible to go wrong, as it brings the necessary charisma to any interior and always ages well.

It was designed in 1938 in Buenos Aires by the architects Bonet, Kurchan and Ferrari, from whose initials its name derives. These professionals were also the founders of the famous Grupo Austral collective, a symbol of Argentine design.

The Butterfly chair became a mass phenomenon in the 1950s, a few years after the American company Knoll launched it to fame in 1945. At that time, several manufacturers under different names, produced more than five million BKF chair replicas in the United States, with different upholsteries.

The best known of them is the original, in brown leather. It is the same that we evoke in Misterwils with the Butterfly Caramel leather armchair, with removable tubular steel structure finished in black. The leather and metal legs give it an expressiveness that fits perfectly within the family of industrial style furniture, making it a must for this fall.

3. Bretain wood and leather bench

Who said that Industrial style furniture can’t be comfortable? Despite its sober and sometimes even austere appearance, pieces like the Bretain wood and leather bench can perfectly represent the trend and, at the same time, fill a home with warmth.

Its cozy upholstery, on a sturdy tropical wood frame, can become the perfect addition to a footboard, or the warm foyer of your home.

4. Marny Upholstered Bench

Looking for extra comfort? Then you’d better choose a bench with backrest like Marny, an industrial-style piece of furniture with a tubular steel structure finished in black paint and seat and backrest upholstered in textile. It is also easy to clean: just use a damp microfiber cloth to keep it looking as good as new.

5. Bombay dining table

Furniture trends come and go, so it is surprising that such a unique feature as hairpin legs are still around almost a century after their creation.

Its inventor was Vienna-born Henry P. Glass, who was working in New York for industrial-style furniture designer Russel Wright when he created the world’s first fork leg in 1941.

The reason for its elegant innovation, which offers a light and sophisticated look to all kinds of pieces, is to be found in the historical context: since materials were scarce during World War II, designs that used as little material as possible were in demand.

In this respect, Glass furniture legs were perfect, requiring only a small amount of steel. Nevertheless, they managed to be resistant, and what’s more, they drew a new and groundbreaking silhouette that would forever change the shapes of Industrial style furniture.

To celebrate this find and its beauty, you can get your hands on the Bombay dining table, Industrial style with rustic touches thanks to its warm solid acacia wood top with 3.5 centimeters thick irregular edge.

6. Columbia dining table

If you are looking for something more emphatic, but at the same time, natural for your home, the Columbia industrial style furniture may be the answer you were waiting for. Made of solid recycled pine wood, its trestle legs take us back to the early days of the style, to those industrial lofts that still fascinate us today, where everything had the charm of improvisation.

So, the Columbia dining table has echoes of informality, as it looks as if we have precisely unfolded two trestles and placed a table on top of it. At the same time however, thanks to its generous dimensions and all-around design, it is easily perceived as a solid, sturdy piece. 

An added bonus that makes it a real eye-catcher and the perfect piece of industrial style furniture? It is handcrafted with old wood and recycled wood, so it has the marks and irregularities of wear and tear caused by the passage of time.

7. Camelot leather chair

Like a more sophisticated version of the unforgettable DSW chair by designers Ray and Charles Eames. This is Camelot, which shares with the iconic piece its sculptural and casual shapes, but is dressed in leather and steel instead of plastic and wood. When it comes to industrial-style furniture, it is impossible not to fall in love with its unmistakable look and dark brown upholstery.
