Industrial chairs: Functional design with a unique character
Industrial chairs are the perfect choice for those seeking furniture with personality that is both durable and timeless. Inspired by the aesthetic of New York lofts and old workshops, they stand out for their exposed metal frame, visible welds, and finishes that only improve with age. At Sklum, you'll find models that combine the robustness of steel with the warmth of elm wood or the comfort of technical upholstery. These versatile pieces work equally well in a home dining room or high-traffic restaurant spaces, always adding an urban and sophisticated touch.
Types of factory-style seating
| Chair Type | Technical Specifications | Ideal for... |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial Metal Chair | Powder-coated or galvanized steel. Stackable, lightweight, and highly impact-resistant. | Everyday kitchens, covered terraces or cafes that require easy cleaning and durability. |
| Mixed Chair (Metal and Wood) | Iron frame with seat and/or backrest in dark solid wood or natural elm. | Dining rooms seeking warmth without losing an industrial touch. It pairs well with rustic wooden tables. |
| Vintage Upholstered Chair | Black metal legs with padded seat in aged faux leather (PU leather) or velvet. | Lounges or offices where ergonomic comfort and a more "soft industrial" aesthetic are prioritized. |
| Stool with Backrest | High version of the industrial chair, with perimeter footrest and reinforced stability. | Kitchen bars, central islands or high collaborative work tables. |
Advantages of choosing industrial style chairs
- Extreme Durability: Metal is one of the most wear-resistant materials, withstanding intensive use without losing stability.
- Minimal Maintenance: Lacquered or treated wood surfaces are easily cleaned with a damp cloth, without the need for special products.
- Decorative Versatility: Although they have character, they integrate surprisingly well into Nordic, rustic or eclectic environments.
- Attention to Detail: Finishes such as brushing, rust effect or burnt wood give each piece unique nuances.
Tips for combining industrial chairs
To avoid a cold feel, mix metal chairs with a solid wood table or add textile seat cushions (felt, leather). Play with colors: black or natural steel chairs are a good base, but a touch of yellow, red, or antique blue can revitalize the dining room. If the floor is delicate (parquet), make sure the legs have protective rubber feet, which are included on all our quality models.
Frequently asked questions about industrial chairs
-
Are all-metal chairs comfortable?
Yes, their design typically features ergonomic curves in the seat and backrest. For long after-dinner conversations, we recommend adding a magnetic or ties-on cushion.
-
Do they rust over time?
Our indoor chairs are coated with epoxy paint or protective varnishes to prevent rust. For outdoor use, look for specific galvanized models.
-
Can they support a lot of weight?
Thanks to their welded steel construction, they are among the most resistant chairs on the market, typically supporting loads exceeding 120-150 kg.
-
How to clean a matte finish?
Simply use water and mild soap. Avoid metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners that could scratch the paint or protective varnish.
