industrial HERITAGE
Clear modern architecture sets the stage for the industrial character of the
theme, in which antiques, treasured collector‘s items and worn-looking surfaces
form attractive contrasts and make for a more homely atmosphere.
Old and roughly-worked items no longer characterize the style alone.
Contemporary materials and items with traces of machining and visible fittings
are increasingly determining the particular appeal of the trend, as exemplified
by rough-hewn worktables in stark contrast to upmarket brushed steel
accessories.
Lively, irregularly-textured surfaces typify industrial HERITAGE. Decors offering
authentic vintage character and a slightly used look play an instrumental
role, with reproductions of oak, ash and rough natural stone predominating.
Patterns reminiscent of arts and crafts techniques lend a certain artisan charm.
Dark woodgrain hues, black and sombre browns are much in evidence,
contrasted by dark shimming blue and the industrial, metallic hues of iron and
copper. Neon red accents punctuate the technical atmosphere.
