■ "INDUSTRIAL CHIC" by Brigitte Durieux and Laziz Hamani

This book brings together 50 industrial design products made of dark wood and iron that emerged in America and Europe from the late 19th century through the 20th century. It features items such as a desk lamp from British brand Anglepoise, which remains beloved today, and a school desk from the American Seating Company, founded in 1906.

Close-up photographs of each item capture the beauty of its details and the rugged coolness that comes with age. While the text is entirely in English, the authors, experts in industrial design and style, provide insights into each product, making it a fascinating read even for enthusiasts.
