It blends Art Deco with modern industrial design. It is an adaptable design that can be customized to a wide range of specifications to fit your individual commercial or residential needs.  For more information, please see the Product Page.

What’s going on at Vintage Industrial

By | about me, commercial furniture, desk, dining table, Hostess Stand, seating | 2 Comments

We’re revamping our website finally! So expect that sometime next month. I’ve been updating it myself for 3 years and we’re finally getting some professional help!! My days as a web designer / furniture designer / fabricator / janitor / salesman / bookkeeper / everything are over! I’m focusing on design now which is my passion.

We’ll have a better shopping cart to easier facilitate online transactions and track orders. And it’ll look professional which is something I know we’re lacking. So stay tuned. Below are some new things in the shop…

Here’s a Bronx table we just finished this week. It has a 7′ x 40″ steel top and is a real looker. I actually like the steel top better than the wood on this design.

The Penn Desk

Here’s a revamped vintage design built as a hostess stand, or a tall desk. It has brass accents, a walnut top and shelf, locking drawer, and will have a miriade of available options. There’s more info on our desk page.

A Frame Dining Table and Benches – $6750

Here’s a good example of custom work we can do. Our client wanted some matching benches for his A Frame table and here’s the end result. The benches are 2″ thick mahogany each with 2 big connecting screws/nuts to tie it to the table. Pricing is for a 84″ x 40″ table and two 72″ long benches as pictured.

Aged Paint Process on a Few Designs

We made a couple interesting pieces last month, a green Crank Desk, a red Crank Table, and a red Hure base set. I’ve had more requests for aged paint jobs after people saw how it looked on the Bronx table. Many ask me where I found these vintage pieces and are surprised when I tell them we just made them. That’s the highest compliment for me!

Our Work at the Four Seasons Restaurant Proof

By | chair, commercial furniture, dining table, seating | No Comments

Proof just opened up in Scottsdale at the Four Seasons Troon North. We had a lot fun designing and building the pieces for them. We built 2 special tables which were modeled after an old train cart. They roll on a steel track (flush with floor) like a real train, and can be pushed together, or moved outside. One of the worn oak tops has our crank mechanism and adjusts in height. They weigh in around 550 lbs each. We also built a bunch of our fixed height swiveling Wright bar chairs.

This is a good example of what we can do with just an idea from a client.

Vintage Industrial’s Train Table

By | commercial furniture, dining table | No Comments

Working on a fun project for the 4 Seasons. We designed and are building 2 train style tables, one that adjusts in height. And they ride in a custom track that is built into the floor, so they can be moved outside, or pushed together for parties. Stay tuned for more pictures.

This bases sports 12″ wheels that we built in-house, and should weigh around 1/2 a ton when finished.

MGM Casino in Motorcity

By | chair, commercial furniture, console table, dining table, seating, shelving, sideboard | No Comments

Earlier this year, MGM designers came to us looking for some pieces to fill their restaurant. They used our designs and website as inspiration for the space, which was very flattering. Sim and I will be heading down there later this month to see the space in person and get some pictures. The restaurant opens in late September 2012 (Motorcity MGM Casino).

We ended up building several special I Beam bar height bases which have space for beer conduit running through the center up to the top. So partons will be able to serve themselves alcohol from the table top bar taps. And I Beams have a door so they can service the conduit in the interior.

They needed some storage and display too, so we built a couple Ellis sideboards with  308 shelving above. One of those will divide the private dining area from the restaurant and is wrapped in glass, with cutouts on the shelves for glass, LED lighting on top, and locking doors. It was a complicated piece that came out amazing. The pics don’t do it justice here.

They needed some seating to match, so we modified our Wright chair and added extra lumbar support for comfort.

Our client needed some architectural details to divide the space, so we built several of these custom lattice panels. The 14 panels contained a total of 4,500 rivets. It was a lot of work, but it was well worth it.

Most of the Industrial style furniture you find on the internet and in stores is made in Asia, mainly India and China. Often the quality is not so good. And the designs are often copies of somebody else’s work (like mine). So if you are thinking of buying elsewhere, I suggest you ask the shop owner where the piece was made. We’ve been doing this since 2009 and have such notable clients such as: MGM, Doubletree, Hyatt, The Four Seasons, and many more commercial establishments.

New Designs by Vintage Industrial

By | bookcase, commercial furniture, dining table, furniture, shelving | No Comments

We’ve been really busy the past few weeks doing some big jobs and getting the shop organized to run more efficiently. Take a look at the red shelving system we made for celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s restaurant that’ll be opening up soon in Time Square. It’s 24′ wide x 14′ tall and was powdercoated red and aged back to give it a 1950s feel. We’ll be making another shelf shortly for the same restaurant, but in a different style, so stay tuned. I’ll get installed photos too. It’s modular which makes it easy to ship and install.

Here’s a write-up on the place –> http://ny.eater.com/tags/guys-american-kitchen-and-bar

IMG_3199.JPGIMG_3205.JPGIMG_3212.JPGIMG_3216.JPG

We made some I Beam bases for the MGM Casino in Detroit which had extra rivets, and doors to access the inside. They are going in the bar area and will have beer taps routed through the center so the patrons will have self-service beer, in other words, beer taps on the bar tables!

photo (1).JPGphoto (1).JPG

And here is a sneak peak at our new Ellis shelf design. It’s made with the Ellis steel frame, and aged solid cherry wood on the sides and shelves. This one is 48″ wide x 16″ deep x 78″ tall, although it can be made in any size, and weighs in at 175 lbs (the cherry wood is heavy). This can also be enclosed like the original Ellis console with added doors. Caster would look nice too. Still working on pricing, and I’ll have better pics soon.

Wholesale Vintage Industrial Tables

By | commercial furniture, dining table, Purchasing | One Comment

We’re working on putting some of our designs into production so we can offer them for wholesale to retail stores, and add trade discounts. Pretty excited about it, as I’ve had so many people asking for it. We’re not in any stores yet, in case you didn’t know, we sell direct right now. I hope to get our Hure table in there first to be offered as a table base, and complete table in two top sizes. And maybe our I Beam table next. Working on a spiffy catalog too. If you are interested, please do let me know. Might be 10-12 weeks before this happens.

Floyd Dining Table

By | commercial furniture, conference table, dining table | No Comments

I finally got a chance to snap some pictures of our Floyd table base. We put a 10′ walnut top with a riveted edge on it. This 400lbs base will support a 12′ long top, or use dual bases and make a 20′ conference table. This French Industrial inspired base is reminiscent of the old cast iron machine bases from the early 1900s.  As pictured this would price around $5500.

New Adjustable Height Crank Table Design

By | commercial furniture, conference table, dining table | No Comments

We’ve been working on this new crank table design for a few weeks now. There was a lot of rivet work and details to build and I’m quite happy with the progess. It started as me needing a new desk for myself. I’ve been wanting to make a new more elegant Crank Table, so after designing on paper, we started building. I chose to use two massive 5 ton screw mechanisms to support the top. On each side we’ll have 12″ cast iron wheels to adjust the height which will go from 30″ to 45″. The base is 7′ long, and the top which we’ll be making next, will be 7′ x 40″ and most likely aged cherry wood with metal trim and bolted corners. The base was built from extra heavy-gauge steel, and adorned with rivets and bolts (at least 200). We had thoughts of going yellow or orange, but went with an aged red finish. Once this piece is completed, I’ll have some pictures to show, as well as specs and pricing. Hope this is next week!

This base will work perfect for a desk, dining or conference table.
