The aesthetic of highly authentic function over form...






























Images American Furnishings

Vintage Indusrial Chic....



Essentially the well worn stools, tables, office furniture, lighting and other goodies from factories and schools, medical facilities, churches, farms and shops.































I love the ingenuity and the re-use of the whole style.
While it certainly is not everyone's
thang...



Their main characteristic is that they were designed to do a job

~Typically with little attention given to their appearance~
And they did it well, surviving all sorts of abuse in the process...And therein lies the charm...
