INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Day 27 of my countdown to Paris, arriving on April 23! Today I am adding another category to my shopping list for all things French….industrial design. Industrial design is trending big right now. It is that warehouse look that exposes pipes, ductwork, original beams and brick. It has elements of stainless steel and metal with a minimalist utilitarian feel.

Rarely, can I find an industrial bottle rack at my regular antique and flea haunts here in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. So, I will also add this to my list of things for which to search.
