Industrial Dining Chairs

What defines an industrial dining chair

The industrial look was born in old factories and workshops and radiates a rugged, masculine feel. Recognisable materials are black steel, raw wood and concrete, often in combination with each other. A black metal frame with a wooden or fabric seat is typical. These dining chairs look robust but are designed with comfort in mind, so they not only look good but are also pleasant to sit in through a long dinner.

Combining with your interior

Industrial dining chairs combine surprisingly widely. In practice, the industrial style mixes with almost any other style, provided you carry one or two core materials consistently through the room. Think of repeating black steel in your lighting or raw wood in your table. Handsome combinations are a leather sofa, a tree trunk table and a concrete-look floor, which together form a warm but rugged foundation in which the chairs come into their own.

Sizing advice around the dining table

For a well-laid table, the proportion between chair and table matters. Keep enough legroom under the table top and allow roughly 60 cm of width per chair, so everyone has plenty of room and can pull up easily. Measure the length of your table to work out how many chairs fit comfortably around it. Leave enough walking space at the ends and behind the chairs. In our showroom in Enschede you can see straight away how the chairs look with different tables.

Caring for steel and wood

Industrial dining chairs are built for daily use and ask for little maintenance. Wipe a black steel frame clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and dry it well afterwards, so the metal stays looking good. Dust a wooden seat and deal with a stain straight away. That way the robust materials keep their rugged character for years.
