Refined Industrial – The Forecast

I call it ‘Refined Industrial’ the new updated version of ‘industrial’ that has a minimalist approach. You can’t go wrong with a simple palette of black, white, grey and of course to add warmth light timber and tan leather accents. Internal blackened steel framed doors against white smooth rendered walls

Internal blackened steel framed doors against white smooth rendered walls creates a bold contrast to any space. The dramatic lines of steel present beautiful architectural shadows once the light enters. The Paul Istano armchair by Objekto is made from a single bent steel bar and a leather cover, which gives this armchair an aesthetic lightness and an incomparable comfort. The purity and the elegance of its armchair’s simple lines are timeless, with an exceptional comfort.

The Lampe Gras lighting range is practical, durable and endlessly appealing. Its genius lies in it’s simplicity – no screws or welded joints in the basic form. Perforated metal is bang on trend which you mostly see used on building exteriors. But how about bringing it indoors with the PD2 floor lamp by Gubi. The floor lamp PD2 suits perfectly beside a sofa, in empty corners or simply free in a room. There it doesn’t stand in the foreground but discretely looking like a sculpture with the distinctive expression. To soften the space hang a large framed print of black and white photography, it will bring soul into an interior. Refined Industrial celebrates sharp lines, stripped back architecture, concrete finishes, blackened steel and the return of brutalism. It is a style that is minimalist and functional in nature, with a focus on showing off humble, functional materials.
