Industrial Cabinets

What defines an industrial cabinet

The industrial character lies in the honest combination of materials. Typical features are sliding doors on a rail, exposed hinges and handles in black or bronze, rough wooden panels with visible grain, and steel frames in black or anthracite. The metal is not hidden away but is deliberately part of the design: you can see how the cabinet is put together. That openness makes every industrial cabinet just a little different and gives it a handmade character.

Wood with character

The panels of an industrial cabinet are generally made from mango wood, reclaimed teak or weathered wood. The wood is roughly finished with the grain and colour variations preserved, so every cabinet has its own markings. That natural variation is not a flaw but precisely the charm: no two cabinets are identical. Combine a wooden front with a black steel frame and you have that recognisable loft feeling in your home straight away.

Where to put an industrial cabinet

An industrial cabinet is versatile in use. Put it in the living room as a storage cabinet or sideboard, in the hallway for coats and belongings, in a home office or in a genuine factory loft. Thanks to its substantial, tough presence it works well as a statement cabinet against an empty wall. Combine it with metal wall decor and other industrial furniture for a complete, coherent loft interior.

Caring for wood and steel

An industrial cabinet is easy to keep looking good. Dust the cabinet regularly, and wipe the steel frame occasionally with a damp cloth. The wood benefits from an annual oiling or top-up with furniture oil, so the grain stays nourished and the colour keeps its depth. That way the cabinet keeps its tough character for years without demanding much attention.

Made to measure and combinations

If a standard cabinet does not quite fit your space, made to measure is possible: a different width, height, layout or a different type of sliding door. That way you get exactly the storage solution that suits your interior.
