WORK THE INDUSTRIAL LOOK
Industrial chic is an interior design trend that began in city lofts and has made its way into the mainstream. It brings together the earthy beauty of iron and metal, accented by weathered wood and soft clean surfaces. At EXHIBITORLIVE, this interior design trend made it to the trade show floor.
