The industrial style in interior design 

Definition

Industrial style:

The industrial style in interior design is an edgy style that has less decoration and more emphasis and exposure of the building’s bare structure and unfinished walls, floor, and ceilings. In industrial style, the construction of the building is never finished.

 

Minimalist style:

Minimalist style in interior design showcases ultimate simplicity, the minimalism of space, elements, and materials. This style is based on neutral and basic color palette, with more natural light and components, and fewer objects and decorative items. Designers value empty spaces, cleanliness, and simplicity.

 

 

DESIGN LANGUAGE

• A minimalist style is all about less is more .its famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe summarized its minimalist philosophy in a trademark phrase: ‘Less is more.’ Less-is-more refers to the reduction of form to the bare minimum of elements. It’s still used to define minimalism today.

Industrial style:

• Industrial-style interior design was born out of an effort to convert old factories and abandoned warehouses into living space in high-density urban areas where real estate is at a premium. The goal in industrial design is to celebrate the building’s past and showcase the raw materials and structural components that make up space.

 

 

BACKGROUND AND – HISTORY

 

• The minimalist design was originated in the early 20th century. Designers and architects started using it after World War 1 because of the availability of modern materials such as steel, concrete, and others. In the 1960’s it began in the United States .it brings a harmony of space and light. This style of design is considered a foolproof channel in creating a financially right house or building. Furthermore, the primary aim of this style is to obtain a result that never goes out of style. This is achieved through the rationalized sets of well-judged approaches.

 

• Industrial style:

Place and time of origin of the industrial style of design are not well known. However, it is speculated that this style was developed in the early period of the twentieth century. This happened almost in line with the end of the second industrial revolution, while the trends towards globalization became more evident. During this period, several factories moved their operations to other countries resulting in abandoning several industrial buildings. This, therefore, left an opportunity with endless resources and building materials to use.

Minimalist style

• The origins of minimalist architecture can be found in the Cubist design movements De Stijl and Bauhaus of the 1920s. In a way, these movements provided architecture with different diets based on similar food selections. The Bauhaus movement originated with an art school in Germany with the goal of promoting mass production and uniting arts and crafts with technology. In 1947, after the Bauhaus relocated to the United States and became known as the International Style, its famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, summarized its minimalist philosophy in a trademark phrase: ‘Less is more.’ Less-is-more refers to the reduction of form to the bare minimum of elements.

what are the elements & principles of the style (colors, shapes, forms

principles that define the industrial style

·         It Has exposed pipes, beams, and ducts. This is actually the signature of the industrial interior design, leaving the structural elements, tubes, pipes presented. It takes courage because it is the opposite of other styles where this infrastructure is invariably hidden

• Light colors and natural tones harmonize and contrast with brushstrokes of black in Diego Revollo’s Industrial Loft. Hot, neutral colors also usually favor these environments that are typically large and open. Above, in the loft “Red hot Chilli Peppers,” Ando-Studio chose the use of navy blue contrasting with natural tones giving warmth to the ample environment.
• Furniture and fixtures define most of the spaces; they are carefully thought out in every detail. Although the trend of this style is minimalist, the areas allow a dramatization. It is possible to mix chrome-plated materials with old, worn parts, where form and function are equally important.
• Contain luminaries and metal pendants. Focal lighting through spots fixed on rails is a good option. Vintage luminaries, contemporary as well as pendant fixtures in metal, are perfect for these rooms. The indirect lighting leaves the atmosphere cozier, with personality.
