Industrial style living room

A style that to some may seem cold and inappropriate for a home, but to others exciting and contemporary, is industrial. By its very nature, industrial style is a raw, masculine style, but one that can be tamed and disguised in a welcoming environment with a distinct air of its own. The best part of such a style is that anything goes - metal structures, wood in all its variations, rope, textiles, mother nature, copper and lots of imagination put to the test. Of course, industrial style is not just about the furnishings in a room, they are just a portion of the whole.

In the realized living room I will limit myself to the furniture and some accessories.

Chests - Composed of three types of wood - nuc, fag and molid - is the centerpiece of the room, always the center of attention. Construction began by planing the walnut top and spruce support. After inserting three "bow ties"Then came the finishing - three coats of tung oil and a final coat of safflower wax. The casing or connecting element between the top and the underside was made of beech wood. In addition to connecting the two pieces, it also has a practical role as a support for two drawers for vinyl records. Both the joints of the case and the drawers were made in swallowtail. To be in theme with the rest of the room, the dividers were made of pipes and connectors forming an "H" profile. With all the lego pegs ready to go, it was time to assemble them.

Coffee table - is part of the same "family" as the chest of drawers, made of walnut wood, swallowtail inserts and pipes.

Sofa - Made entirely from spruce wood with a fairly basic finish, two coats of baiț and a wax one.

Bar - Made of ash wood, pipes, connectors and flanges. The top was made of epoxy resin, ash and 343 different beer caps. See more about the countertop and how it was built here.

To see how all these pieces of furniture were made, including the pipe and ash wood shelves, the fittings, the moss paneling, the light fittings, you can enter here.
