industrial furniture

I remember seeing these tables from Restoration Hardware in their last catalog that arrived at my house, and thinking that they were really beautiful in their rough simplicity and utility.

 

  

I was in the store near our house a few days ago, though, and they had a couple of these there on display. And as lovely as they are in the photos, they're even more gorgeous in person. The epitome of the modern wabi-sabi aesthetic.

The Restoration Hardware ad copy says these are one-of-a-kind and in limited supply. So I was surprised to see some almost identical items turn up in the most recent Sundance catalog (at a slightly cheaper price, surprisingly). I'm torn as to whether to feel cynical about it (Is this a trend? Will these "one-of-a-kind" items start popping up everywhere?) or whether to feel pleased. They are lovely, after all, so more is better, right?

Here are a few more items with a similar look from Sundance. Like the items from RH, they're all either industrial/commercial antiques or are made from reclaimed wood
