Ralph Lauren Industrial shelf



Cool Shelving


I saw this in another post that was highlighting the Ralph Lauren windows.

I thought the shelving was ingenious, the source is shop.retro.net

Great looking shelving, I saw a lot of variations when in NYC.






Great detailing from this piece, some parts are vintage and from England.







Sadly, there is a post on the site where these great designs are being copied and replicated overseas.

The interesting thing is at a higher price and what looks to be less quality. The pieces from retro industrial line are Made in the USA

I am all for free market enterprise, but blatantly copying a design from top to bottom is a little disheartening.

 

This is an industrial furniture trend that seems to be taking a hold of mainstream.

The Restoration Hardware catalog is also full of industrial inspired pieces too, as are many home design catalogs.Check out your local as well as the bigger design stores.Your best bet is to shop around, style,quality and price are very subjective.

 I have to say, it gets mt heart to skip a beat!
