This design guide documents the aesthetic and practical principles of Industrial Vintage interior design, a style that emerged largely from the conversion of late 19th and early 20th-century factory spaces, warehouses, and lofts into residential and commercial use. The style is characterized by the deliberate use of exposed structural and mechanical elements (such as ventilation ducts, pipes, and beams), raw or salvaged materials like aged wood and metal, and an open-plan layout. The book illustrates the successful integration of vintage furniture and utilitarian lighting fixtures into these raw architectural shells, referencing the design lineage of early functionalist and modernist movements that prioritized honesty in materials and construction.
