Industrial decor—you know it when you see it. It emphasizes the use of “building” material for their aesthetic, whether it be metal beams, exposed brick or cement walls, clear glass, or wood. Minimalism is key to industrial decor, as is the use of natural materials, from live plants to leather. What you won’t see are large swathes of painted color or “fun” patterns.
Industrial conveys an ingrained “cool” with its eye firmly transfixed on the latest decor trends. What’s more, it’s more versatile than you may initially think, as industrial furniture pieces can co-mingle with antiques and other design inspirations, from farmhouse to mid-century.
To help you bring a bit more modern appeal to your home, we compiled our favorite dining sets and tables that incorporate iconic industrial touches to varying degrees.

Take note, all the industrial dining sets highlighted below are made-to-order by Amish craftsmen. This means three things:
-
You can customize the furniture based on the offered woods and stains
-
Each piece will be built using the finest woodworking procedures
-
You can buy as little or as many pieces from each industrial set based on your specific needs

Eastern Plains Reclaimed Dining Set
This dining set represents industrial style to a tee with the table’s metal base and use of recycled barnwood. The wood is allowed to tell a story with its epoxy-filled nail & knot holes (all finished for optimal use). Buy this industrial table in sizes 42" x 60" through 42" x 96".
To complete the set, pair it with the eye-catching kitchen chairs, also made from barn wood. They are available with or without arms and the option of a leather or fabric seat. Further diversifying your seating choices is a dining bench sold in lengths 60” - 96”.
However, we could not discuss this particular industrial dining set without drawing attention to the wine buffet, enhanced with sliding barn doors along a black metal track for the perfect accent. Plus, it has adjustable shelves to best accommodates your stemware.

Eloise Rustic Dining Set
This is the perfect dining set to demonstrate how to marry hard industrial with feminine touches. The simple yet statement-making table combines its thick, black powder-coated metal base with rugged rough sawn maple (available in sizes 42" x 72" through 48" x 96"). In contrast, the chairs tufted dining chairs introduce a third textile (your choice of fabric or leather) that comes across as comparatively gentle and inviting.
Take note, alternative seating available within this industrial dining set is a bench and swivel bar chairs.

Lasker Dining Set
You’ll be hard-pressed to find an industrial dining set that is more unique. Firstly, let’s start off by giving the accompanying Adele Live Edge Chairs a second look; the giant wood plank back pairs with a seat either left bare or upholstered with leather or fabric. This provides a particularly dramatic contrast to the dining table’s cast iron trestle base. The table itself can be purchased in 14 different sizes, spanning from 42” x 48” to an impressive 48" x 120". Order it in your choice of rustic brown maple, rustic cherry, or rustic walnut, all of which will put the natural grain on full display.

Paraway Reclaimed Dining Set
This industrial dining set introduces an element not explored by the previously mentioned options: glass. The reclaimed barnwood table can come in solid wood or with a tempered glass inset, the latter adding a visually light touch while maintaining the industrial theme. The result is a truly handsome mix of four different textures: the black metal base, the unfinished trestle beam, the finished top and framing, and the clear glass. While the table remains 42” in width regardless of the size, its lengths range from 72” to 108”.
Joining the industrial table are two types of benches and a dining chair, all of which evoke various touches from the table. When upholstery is offered, it’s available as both fabric or leather.
Featured suite
Finger Lakes Dining Set
All of the past dining sets heavily spotlit the use of black metal to convey an industrial feel. However, this set is much more subtle (but industrial nonetheless). The Finger Lakes Table merges rough sawn maple with striking bolts as accents and a slender metal turnbuckle base detail. This table comes in 24 different sets of dimensions, from a diminutive 36" x 48" to a sweeping 48" x 108".
Featured suite
Calypso Modern Pub Set
Industrial design is all about bucking the formality of traditional decor, so why not keep this spirit alive by choosing a pub set instead of dining-height furniture? The table itself comes in sizes 30"W x 48"L through 42"W x 84"L, and gives you the choice of 10 different polished hardwoods including tiger maple, quartersawn white oak, and cherry.
Three different styles of stools come in this set. While they do not share the same metal base as the pub table, they can be ordered with two different stains, allowing you to mimic the look in the photograph.

Eddington Reclaimed Dining Set
We couldn’t think of a more appropriate industrial dining set to round out this list, as its table exhibits the defining characteristics of this design movement: upcycled wood in its semi-natural state and a black metal base decked with an unfinished timber beam. 42” wide, it’s available in lengths 60” through 96”.
Rounding out the set is the option of coordinating benches and/or chairs, as well as the attention-grabbing Eddington Reclaimed Sideboard. This piece can store a wide variety of goods, thanks to its modifiable shelving and full extension drawers.
The above industrial dining sets are far from being the only ones we offer.
