Industrie“Industry” summons more charming thoughts

today than that of manufacturing smokestacks

in obscure lands. For all its symbolic meaning

or not, it has evolved into a reference of style.

Those who have a taste for the industrial look

are set to be enraptured by Picket & Rail’s new

staid and ravishing Chicago collection.

The industrial revolution was a period that

saw remarkable changes in manufacturing,

transportation, mining, agriculture and

technology, all of which had profound effects

on the cultural and socioeconomic conditions

of the times. We live in its consequence today

and Chicago pays tribute.

Chicago is industrial by character, not

merely by aesthetic. Its material, form and

engineering reek of heavy duty strength.

Every feature celebrates the power of

mechanism and contraption, reinforcing

the collection’s industrial character.

A formidable union of rugged gunmetal and

American poplar that retains all the glory of its

timber’s raw, natural scars, Chicago is impure,

swarthy beauty come alive.

Chicago Brochure_Vol II.indd 2 11/6/2013 10:19:51 AM

The industrial character of the Chicago Collection comes through in their features that celebrate the strength and beauty of mechanism. Strong American poplar wood is paired with gunmetal to showcase the raw, natural glory of the timber and create the machine aesthetic. Wire mesh glass, studded rivets and turnbuckle stretcher beams emphasize the structural components as well as provide a striking contrast with decadent velvet-lined drawers.

All Chicago wood surfaces are protected and pampered with a layer of wax to create a scratch-resistant, mild gloss surface that lightly touches the wood with a classy glaze, without hindering its rough-hewn aesthetic. Light lacquering exhibits the raw, natural beauty of the timbre. 05

Wired glass is made through the process of rolling wire mesh between ribbons of molten glass during production.

Traditionally used as a partial safety glass, the wire mesh retains glass bits and shards in breakages and duals as a fire and smoke retardant in a similar sense. It also prevents shattering in high temperatures. Chicago’s cabinet doors are fitted with this antique,rugged, hardy material.

A turnbuckle is a tensioning device that controls the strain distribution in rope, cables and tie-rods, ensuring the optimum balance of constriction. Chicago applies the fascinating technology, functioning as adept stretchers for its tables, whilst paying tribute to the contraption that made aircraft wing tensioning, ship rigging and boxing rings possible.

American PoplarEach wood has its own character.

The most defining characteristic of the hardwood American Poplar is that its trees with straight trunks grow taller than any other hardwood species in the United States and at an incredibly rapid rate. This makes it an extremely valuable and environmentally-friendly timber.

Poplars grow abundantly in North America, particularly in the virgin cove forests of the Appalachian Mountains. Poplar wood has a very pleasing scent, a pale yellowish to olive green bark, a medium to fine texture, and a straight grain. It ages very well and its strength and versatility make it excellent for furniture-making.

The American Poplar has also been historically used for its astringent, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory medicinal properties. It is effective in treating intermittent fevers, chronic diarrhea, rheumatoid arthritis, and urinary problems.
