What about making your own furniture that goes perfectly with you and your style? You can find a modern solution in Industrial Design – a trend that everyone’s talking about. But what makes it so special? Quite simply: This style places no limits on creativity and can be conjured up in our homes easily.
We show you how you can build such a stylish piece of furniture in the Industrial Design style yourself in just a few steps.
Start by preparing the wooden tabletop. Before you apply the paint, you should lightly sand the surface of the wood and round off the edges. Then remove any dust with a brush or microfibre cloth.
First, you should stir the paint with the supplied stirring rod to mix the paint. Then fill the paint container approx. 3/4 full and thin the paint if necessary following the paint manufacturer’s instructions. Each notch on the mixer corresponds to a dilution of 10%.
Before you place the spray attachment on the device, align the suction tube according to the direction of work – to the rear when spraying objects overhead and to the front when spraying downwards. For this project, the suction tube should be aligned to the front.
Now set the spray jet to suit your requirements. The spray jet can be adjusted three-ways – horizontally, vertically and diagonally. Carry out a test spray to find the right setting.
First spray the edges of the tabletop with the diagonal (detail) setting. Always hold the paint spray system so that you maintain a distance of approx. 15 cm from the surface.
Now continue with the surfaces. For this, turn the nozzle vertically (up and down). Begin at the top end of the worktop and pull the trigger during the movement. For best results, move the spray gun at a consistent speed, maintaining a consistent distance from the surface. Spray from the top at a uniform distance (approx. 15 cm). As soon as you reach the bottom of the tabletop, release the trigger and change direction. Overlap the previous layer by approx. 50% so that you achieve an even coverage. Now allow the paint to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you have to apply another coat of paint or varnish, apply it in the opposite direction. This is called the cross-coat technique. After the material has dried, you can flip the tabletop over and repeat the process on the other side.
Layout the pipes and connectors as they will be assembled to each other. Then loosely connect the pipes for the table legs together. Repeat the process with the other end.

When both ends are ready, connect them to the long support pipes and the connecting sleeve. The base for the table is now complete.

In the next step, fasten the legs to the tabletop. Ensure that the legs are positioned straight by measuring the exact position.
Next, drill holes at the indicated points and screw the end piece to the tabletop. Your Industrial Design Table is finished!
