If you're looking for some furniture that will last you a lifetime and perhaps your children's children's lifetime, then I suggest you take a look at Gudmund Bladh's chairs. Incredibly industrial looking, each piece looks like they'll survive everything short of intentional destruction.
Using various materials, Gudmund Bladh's chairs look like a cohesive collection due to their heavy duty looks. A student at Lund University in Sweden, I'm sure this is the first of many collections.
