Industrial tables are defined less by decorative hardware than by the relationship between structure and material. Warm wood, dark metal, substantial frames and practical storage can work across dining tables, coffee tables, consoles and compact side tables.

Dining Tables With Structural Weight

Industrial dining tables often use timber or wood-look tops supported by steel, iron or trestle-style bases.

Coffee Tables With Storage

Lift tops, shelves and lower storage can make an industrial coffee table useful in a multipurpose room.

Console Tables

Long narrow consoles are useful behind sofas, along blank walls and in entry zones.

Side and C Tables

Compact side tables are an easy entry point into the style through slim steel bases and warm wood tops.
