6 Industrial Pieces to Complete the Modern Home
The key tenants of industrial design—functionality, usability, manufacturability, user experience, and sustainability—make it one of the more recognizable design aesthetics. Often featuring more modest, uncomplicated shapes, adhering to more Brutalist principles, and creating clean, uncluttered spaces, industrial design, as a practice, molds modern experiences in both new- and old-construction buildings.
To create this atmosphere in homes, HORNE has curated a collection of industrial furnishings from some of the world’s top design houses.
Surprising Rocking Chair
Designer Harald Guggenbichler has combined the luxurious nature of the club armchair and the classic charm of the rocking chair into the delightfully light outdoor Surprise Rocking Chair. The Surprising Rocking Chair echoes the elegant design of the Surprising series with flexible, laser-cut steel slats, a curved steel frame, and an ergonomic structure that oozes welcome and relaxation. Each Surprising Rocking Chair is powder-coated in UV-resistant colors perfect for all outdoor and front porch spaces.
Pivot Wall Sconce
The quintessential industrial wall light, the Pivot Wall Sconce is an intriguing line drawing of brass or steel, capped with a single bulb. The Pivot Wall Sconce can easily adapt to be a task lamp or ambient lighting with its articulated arm.
Hudson Side Table
Slim and agile powder-coated steel wires intertwine and cross to create the signature legs of the Hudson Side Table. Fascinating to look at and engaging in its balance of the metal against woodgrain, the Hudson Side Table adds the element of surprise with the option of walnut or maple inlay in the solid wood tabletop. Expressive and artsy, the Hudson Side Table adds a playfulness to living rooms, bedrooms, reading nooks, and offices.
Inheritance Sectional
Designed by Stephen Kenn, the Inheritance Sectional captures the basics of sofas while elevating the concept with deep cushions upholstered in wool and cotton. Antiqued details in the paired down metal framework distills, along with the reclined arms and leather belt suspension elements give the Inheritance Sectional an anatomical construction that slips easily into modern, industrial living rooms.
Bent Desk
Designer Christopher Gentner’s sculptural roots are clearly seen in the Bent Desk. A single brass sheet is bent into the desktop and sides of the Bent Desk, forming a shell that houses eight deep drawers. Tarnished brass and walnut create a luxe and epicurean aesthetic, beautifully completed with a more rustic patina.
Kate Chair
Simple silhouettes and modest materials are the earmark of the Kate Chair. Perforated steel is sculpted into combined back- and armrests while the smooth seat is ergonomically curved to ultimate comfort. Enjoy the honest charm and relaxing recline of the Kate Chair on the patio or at the dining table.
