I love the look of the Sundance Catalog's Midcentury Studio Stool ($245). The varnished raw steel has an understated, industrial look that seems as fitting for a bistro or bar counter as a kitchen or home office. At 27 inches tall and 17 inches wide, they're also a great size — big enough but not too hefty.

My lecture hall days may be over, but I'm still loving the industrial schoolhouse aesthetic of this office styled by Canadian magazine editor, stylist, and decorator Margot Austin. From the galvanized metal file cabinet to the linen grain sack pillow, every item seems to have a history. The black/metal desk and sunburst mirrors are a bit more contemporary, which keeps the room from looking too much like a dusty old library.

The juxtaposition of these Factory Vessels ($58-$62) by Up in the Air Somewhere with some fresh, vibrant blooms would make for a wonderful sight. I'd love to create a mini-industrial landscape in my home with these elegant smokestacks. In general, I love the contrast of the rough and gritty with the innocent and delicate.

I've always been a fan of industrial furnishings, like this vintage peg leg cart, but use too much of them and your home starts to look like a factory. The Wisteria Aluminum Side Table ($165) has an urban, industrial edge, but its polished aluminum makes it a bit more contemporary, and appropriate for my oh-so-avant-garde digs. I think pairing it with natural materials, like the stones here, can even make it work in a more traditional interior.

In the next installation of Found It!, I bring you the Vintage Industrial Peg Leg Cart ($799) from American Furnishings. You may have seen this cart used as a coffee table in the boho-modern living room of a couple living in Malmö in my Coveted Crib. In my post, I wrote, "I also adore their coffee table, which looks like a re-purposed dolly (with wheels) of some sort."

I've recently become obsessed with finding the perfect laptop bag that looks as little like a laptop bag as possible. I figure I'll be less of a theft target if my bag doesn't scream, "There's a computer in here!"
Similar to the laptop bag from American Apparel that I spotted a few weeks ago, the Lexington Tote ($40) from Brooklyn Industries doesn't look too much like a laptop bag, but is big enough to fit my MacBook Pro and a ton of extras.

This minimalist kitchen, featured in Marie Claire Maison, is memorable in large part due to its charming, industrial pendant lights. The kitchen is the perfect spot to add a more industrial look to your lighting; after all, it's a hard-working space, especially for those of us who love to cook.
To add some industrial lighting to your kitchen without spending gobs of cash, consider the CB2 Industry Pendant Light ($199).

I'm always on the lookout for chic new laptop bags, and I'm loving this Verdigris Laptop Handbag ($42) from Brooklyn Industries. I like the bag's utilitarian-meets-classy canvas and patent leather design and slim silhouette; it's not like most other laptop bags I've seen. Plus, the shoulder strap detaches, so you can carry the bag like a briefcase.
