Reclaimed Wood Meets PVC: A Modern Industrial Writing Desk
This week’s featured project comes from FORMUFIT customer Dwayne N., who crafted a stunning writing desk that blends black furniture grade PVC pipe and fittings with reclaimed wood from his warehouse. The result? A one-of-a-kind workspace that perfectly merges industrial style with sustainable design.
Strong, Sleek, and Sustainable
Dwayne used 1-1/4” Black PVC pipe and fittings to build a sturdy frame that supports both form and function. He incorporated two open side shelves for storage, while the top surface was constructed from the deck of a retired warehouse cart — giving the piece an authentic, reclaimed look. The shelves were made from upcycled pallet wood, all treated and stained to achieve a warm, rich tone that complements the matte black PVC frame.
Industrial Style with Rustic Warmth
The finished desk now serves as a centerpiece in Dwayne’s shop. Wicker accents and other natural materials add balance to the industrial base, creating a workspace that feels both modern and comfortable. It’s a perfect example of how Furniture Grade PVC can transform reclaimed materials into premium, long-lasting furniture.
Why It Works
- Durable construction – Black Furniture Grade PVC provides strength and structural stability.
- Sustainable design – Reclaimed wood adds texture, warmth, and eco-friendly appeal.
- Customizable build – Easily scaled or modified for different workspace layouts.
This project is proof that high-end furniture doesn’t have to be expensive or wasteful. With FORMUFIT PVC pipe and a bit of creativity, you can design your own industrial-inspired furniture that’s stylish, functional, and built to last.
