It’s Monday evening and besides trying to figure out what to have for dinner (fried salmon and salad maybe?), I’m busy musing over the industrial vintage design style. I really love reclaimed vintage industrial furniture and fittings! So trendey! They’re rough and ready and full of history. Rusty metals, steel and brass, old wood and squeaky weird contraptions… cool and quirky. Reminds me of some of the items from the DAY Birger et Mikkelsen’s AW 2010 Home collection actually.

Anyway, before I get giddy with hunger, I’ll leave you with these images rounded up from across the web to show you what industrial-shabby looks like to me:

My dear, until yesterday I have lived in bleak unawareness of the existence of a webshop called anyhow! Anyhow offers a hand-picked selection of goods from wellknown suppliers and less-known independent designers. When found, I could easily identify some favourites.

I regret that the industry-shabby metal stool is sold out, if not I would probably have bought one without a blink. It’s the perfect piece to imperfect a room arrangement that’s become too polished and set. I also favour the simple luminaire with fabric-cord, and I would not protest if someone put this Madonna in my house. She is stone-coloured and made of a heavy stone-like material.

Oh, and today’s bargain: the kitschy and glamorous table clock. It has a vast amount of (non-precious!) diamonds, rubies and topaz, and measures 14×14 cm. Due to some minor blemishes on the top of the item the price is reduced to approx £17 (195SEK). Anyhow, this gold-mine discovery goes beyond the Swedish borders – anyhow gladely delivers to Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany and Great Britain (with an extra delivery cost of 100 SEK and with an maximum weight of 3 kg).
