Posted by LaFrance on Feb 25, 2021 8:30:00 AM

Industrial and luxe. Two words that don’t typically go together. However, in the world of product branding, this unusual combination could be exactly what your brand needs to bring a sleek industrial luxury to your products. By marrying brushed metals and smooth surfaces, this emerging trend could be the perfect solution to amplify your on-product branding designs within the consumer space. Our parts pictured here are just some of the many ways we've helped brands express these trends in their marketplaces. Continue reading to learn how we can help you!

BOLD COLORS
Give metals a new luxurious feel with dramatic colors, anodized finishes, and ombré fade effects to create eye-catching product designs. There will always be a need for classic colors within sleek interiors, but adding pops of color to your name plates and accent pieces to break up the monotony can elevate your product design and differentiate you from a sea of competitors. Advance your designs with our vast product offering to dial in these bold accents. Use our vast product offering of metals and the plethora of finishing processes like plating, PVD, anodizing, and painting to create compelling pieces that tell your unique story. 

SCULPTED FORMS
One of the best ways to highlight bold colors is to pair them with bent, sculpted, and tubular forms. Capture the attention of your consumers by incorporating curvature and surface level changes in your product designs coupled with classic industrial metallic finishes. Another way to embrace this emerging trend is to showcase the hardware used to build your products and turn them into something decorative. Rather than hiding the rivets or bolts, accentuate them. When designed intentionally, these functional components can elevate your product design and be used to communicate a performance story to your customers. 

BRUSHED FINISHES
Draw upon the industrial luxe trend to create products that appear rough but feel smooth. Nothing says industrial like a classic brushed finish. Combining brushed patterns with polished and smooth surfaces create a compelling contrasting aesthetic. Develop striking contrasts and highlight directional changes with our various options including linear, radial, and selective brushing.  

Industrial luxe takes luxury in a different direction. This trend reaches its full potential on accessories like eyewear and footwear. However, this is also cropping up in product packaging and interiors. The metallic forms, bold colors, and brushed designs can be seen within the home as part of lighting fixtures, appliance accents, and kitchen and bathroom fixtures. 

Whether you’re looking for a bold accent piece or a new take on a classic brushed name plate, we’ve got you covered. For more information on how you can embrace this exciting trend, please complete our form below. We can’t wait to hear from you!
