I think they'd look fine together. That table looks more neutral in style than anything else.

What I would worry about way more than which chairs to put with it is whether chairs will work at all on the ends. I'm quite sure they won't, unless you have reverse sled base chairs, I guess. The stretchers at each end will prevent chair legs from being scooted under the table a bit so that you can be close enough to the table to dine comfortably.

On the other hand, if you only want to seat people along the long sides, then I think a wide variety of chairs will look fine with the table. I wouldn't put a bench with it at all, but that's me---I do not like sliding along a bench to get in or out, I don't like climbing over it to get in or out, I don't like negotiating with people on the ends about getting out when they aren't ready to move, and I especially don't like flat seats and no backs. No back is the death knell for a seating during a meal, in my opinion! I think they're probably good for kids, though.

Also, there are tons of interiors with both industrial and Danish modern furniture that are gorgeous! no issue at all with doing that.

Schoolhouse Electric in Portland, USA, mixes the two. The owner has an interesting design philosophy and picture galleries on their website that mix mcm chairs with industrial tables. They have an industrial yellow steel bed I covet. I'd feel like Vincent Van Gogh with that yellow bed, but their prices are high.

I loved the picture!

I can't tell you how many of this style of industrial table I have seen that is built wrong with no regard for wood movement. And these are ultra high priced tables.

Plenty of Danish design borders on that look, just make sure the thing is actually built to last if you want to have the top not split or bow in the first few years. If you plan to burn it for firewood next Christmas, then buy it regardless.

Too much of any one style is...too much. I happen to like industrial AND Danish and have examples of both, sometimes in the same room! Works for me. I like contrasts.

Andrew Putman quote..."There is no recipe for how to combine things. But you must be sincere. And if you are, strangely it will succeed."

Please yourself & don't follow what fashion or trend dictates, use your instincts & maybe some understanding in basic principles of composition.
