At Industrial Evolution, raw strength meets timeless artistry. Our work is forged from leather, steel, and heavy wood, carrying the grit of the Industrial Revolution while honoring the discipline of Asian aesthetics. We inject the sharp lines of Art Deco and the organic flow of Art Nouveau into our creations, shaping furniture and menswear that embody both power and elegance. Every design is a balance of masculine energy and artistic refinement.

We’re crafting a custom-aged leather club chair that blends vintage surf culture with timeless design. Available in three unique “Stringer” patterns inspired by 1950s–60s surfboards, the chair’s clean lines draw from 1920s Art Deco and the underground speakeasies of 1930s in New York and Chicago.

A versatile piece that works as either a bench or coffee table. Its design blends the quiet elegance of traditional Japanese forms with subtle nods to Shaker simplicity, creating a timeless, functional centerpiece.
