Apartment Therapy | Vintage Industrial Workstation

A piece of vintage industrial furniture from Barn Light Electric was featured on the Apartment Therapy Marketplace. In a section titled “Rustic Modern Workspace: Get the Look,” Apartment Therapy showcased our Vintage Industrial Workstation: The Armory.

Their workspace balances vintage industrial style with warm wood details. This online store [Barn Light Electric] has an amazing selection of industrial/rustic pendant lamps, but they also stock some very nice heavy-duty furniture for workshops. This Vintage Industrial Workstation has a thick butcher block work surface.

As part of Barn Light Electric’s ongoing commitment to produce sustainable, green-friendly and American-made products, The Armory industrial workstation was built with industrial grade cast-iron wheels, reclaimed steel and locally salvaged pine that comprises the wooden butcher block counter.

The Armory sells for $695.00 and measures 35 1/2″ H x 24″ W x 36″ L, with tightly-welded steel seams in a raw steel finish that was inspired by multi-purpose utility carts of the railroad era in the early 1900′s. The Armory’s distinct features coordinates with the steel frame, metal file cabinets and long wooden computer desk where owner’s Becke and Lee work on their Etsy shop.

Style isn’t the only benefit of the raw steel frame; you can use this work surface for everything! Any cuts, dings or scratches that occur on The Armory only add to its authentic industrial-workplace roots. The Armory is suitable for use around the home as a portable kitchen island, microwave cart or craft table within the office. Other functions include a garage work bench or a portable display stand for professional interior designers and retail shops.

Other items noted in the Rustic Modern Workspace, include their lighting choices! Resembling the barn pendant that hangs above the table is our Deep Bowl Shade. With sleek, contemporary finishes like black, yellow or galvanized metal, these styles are widely popular in today’s urban homes and modern lofts. Multiple shade sizes are available for purchase, but for a similar size, select our 16 inch cord hung shade.
