Why choose a modern industrial style?

1. Tough, robust and timeless

This style exudes strength: the use of metal, concrete, rough wood and dark colours gives an interior a tough and robust character that will not go out of fashion quickly.

2. Honest materials

People who like 'real', pure materials are often attracted to industrial living. Nothing is hidden; you see the steel, the wood, the brick, sometimes even the pipes or constructions.

3. Sense of space

At its core, the industrial style is inspired by old factories and lofts, with large open spaces. Even in smaller homes, the use of open metal shelving, minimalist furniture and large windows creates a spacious effect.

4. Easy to combine

Industrial is a beautiful basic style that goes well with other styles such as modern, Scandinavian , vintage or even hotel chic. This keeps it flexible and 'alive'.

5. Functional & practical

The furniture and accessories are often made to withstand a knock. Lamps, tables and cabinets are sturdy, functional and often have a long lifespan.

Industrial lamps

A beautiful example of industrial lighting are the lamps by Van Tjalle and Jasper , which with their sleek, minimalist designs perfectly match this living style. Think for example of the Nikolamp Tesla pendant lamp , which gets a contemporary industrial look through the geometric shapes. The Granny Smith pendant lamp , with its rough, unpolished design, also fits seamlessly with the raw character of this style. Also discover the XL lighting for the large and robust look.
