Concreta

How do you bring furniture design knowledge to an object built from steel and concrete, materials that seem to resist, by nature, the very idea of comfort? The Concreta Chair answers this through precise ergonomic study: the seat angle relieves tension in the thighs and knees while relaxing the lower back, and the backrest is positioned exactly at the spine's natural pressure point. The result is 18 kg of seamless cast concrete, no cracks, no porosity, no rough surfaces a single mass that is as considered in its form as it is suited for gardens and outdoor spaces.
