Lofts have become a real trend for a few reasons. First, the loft is, in general, located in a space that originally was not intended to be inhabited. A factory is transformed into a place of life. In the beginning this option was not very expensive because the price of these spaces was cheaper than that of the apartments. Nowadays, several people in creative professions prefer to live in such a space to be able to develop their workshop. Having a big space in town has become an exclusivity. If you still have the chance to have a loft, here is how a number of contemporary designers have fitted them.

Patinated wooden furniture, leather armchairs, hanging and oversized luminaires: these are the elements often associated with industrial interior design. Indeed, contemporary design is strongly marked by the industrial revolution. The history of design is inseparable from that of the industrial revolution. In the 1850s, major manufacturers embarked on the design race. They try to understand the needs of consumers. It is also at this moment that the notion of “consumer” appears. It is no longer a question of producing in a fast and efficient way, but also of offering effective and aesthetic objects. Before, aesthetics was reserved for artisans and artists. They were the ones who produced unique design objects. Having a table or a designer chair was expensive and was only for those whose budget allowed it.

One of the most striking examples of the history of industrial design is that of Austrian designer and entrepreneur Michael Thornet. He has sold more than 50 million of his famous “bistro” chairs. From the beginning of the 20the century, artistic research is also at the service of the development and improvement of everyday life and the social environment. Artists lend themselves to the game of industrialization. The 1920s are the era of art deco. Modern becomes practical. The objects produced had to marry aesthetics and practical utility. In the 1930s, manufacturers understood that the design of a product guarantees its success. They highlight the appearance, shape and color of the product.

Finally, nowadays industrialization is a fact. Product manufacturing is accelerating to meet consumer demands. On their side lately consumers are passing on the other side of the bridge. They become manufacturers themselves. To recycle, to tinker, to make oneself, one hears these words more and more often. It is also curious that today what is called “industrial style” is the opposite of what it was at the time. An interior in this style of design is often landscaped with salvaged objects. Lofts are actually old industrial spaces (often factories) that have been transformed into places of life.
