Concrete (that durable composite
material made from a mixture of broken stone or
gravel, sand, cement, and water) and cement (the main
ingredient in concrete) have been
popping up everywhere in the design world...from lighting to tiling to jewelry, and even inspired
wallpaper.
Recently I won a fiberglass-reinforced concrete Kreten Candelabra from Souda (thanks Instagram contest!). It's a strong statement piece which sits on the mantle in our living room, and it provides a nice contrast from my other tabletop and décor
objects, which tend to be softer and lighter. The Kreten is always a
topic of conversation, so naturally it sparked a new interest in concrete.
Here are some designs I’m really fond of right
now. Got any favorites? Feel free to share them.
Happy modern Monday!
