Introduction & Timeline
The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new
manufacturing processes in Great Britain, continental Europe,
and the United States, that occurred during the period from
around 1760 to about 1820-1840.11] This transition included
going from hand production methods to machines; new
chemical manufacturing and iron production processes; the
increasing use of water power and steam power; the
development of machine tools; and the rise of the
mechanized factory system. Output greatly increased, and a
result was an unprecedented rise in population and in the
rate of population growth.
4. In particular, average income and
population began to exhibit unprecedented
sustained growth.
Some economists have said the most
important effect of the Industrial Revolution
was that the standard of living for the
general population in the western world
began to increase consistently for the first
time in history, although others have said
that it did not begin to meaningfully
improve until the late 19th and 20th
centuries.
GDP per capita was broadly stable before
the Industrial Revolution and the
emergence of the modern capitalist
economy, 14 while the Industrial Revolution
began an era of per-capita economic
growth in capitalist economies.
Economic historians are in agreement that
the onset of the Industrial Revolution is the
most important event in human history
since the domestication of animals and
plants.

9. Industrial furniture was
simple, practical, easy to
mass produce, and made to
withstand harsh conditions. It
was merely part of daily
work, and not considered
stylish

The NICOLLE Chair
One example of early industrial-style
furniture is the NICOLLE chair.
Founded in 1913 near Paris by Paul Henry
Nicolle, the Nicolle factory made and
stamped metal disks. Nicolle designed a
chair to meet the needs of his workers. In
true industrial style, it was a metal stool with
a functional form. The 3-foot stool featured
a welded circular seat with a backrest
shaped like a whale's tail. It became popular
in factories throughout France.

The Remington Rand Chair
Another example of industrial furniture is the Remington Rand Chair. After
World War II ended, America experienced positive economic growth that
created jobs and called for the building of offices with sturdy equipment.
Remington Rand was an early American business machines manufacturer and
produced swivel based adjustable chairs to meet the growing demand for
office furniture.
Changing Times
The need for industrial furniture began to disappear in the 1970s as offices
and workplaces advanced and evolved. Steel office chairs were replaced with
plastic, fabric, and leather chairs.
The trusted draftsman tables were replaced with computer tables and
desktops. As the fire systems in offices improved, there was less need for
fireproof work furniture.
Is fashioned after old factory style furniture.
Incorporates raw materials for an unfinished feel.
Characteristics of Industrial Style Furniture
Combines function with form as well as old and new elements.
• Celebrates craftsmanship.
Gives environmental consideration re-using materials within the design.
12. Poor workers were often
housed in cramped, grossly
inadequate quarters.
The average lifespan of workers was lower than
that of any other social group in cities.
In the new industrial cities, people died at a
younger age than in the villages. Half the children
failed to survive beyond the age of five.
Deaths were primarily caused by epidemics of
disease like cholera and typhoid that spread from
the pollution of water, or tuberculosis from the
pollution of air.
Continuous working hours.
Tedious and repetitive work.
low wages.
unfavorable working conditions. 5 security issues.
Poor workers were often housed in cramped, grossly
inadequate quarters. Working conditions were difficult
and exposed employees to many risks and dangers,
including cramped work areas with poor ventilation,
trauma from machinery, toxic exposures to heavy
metals, dust, and solvents.
