Why do designers choose to concrete furniture?

Concrete of varying different forms has been used in architectural design since way back in Ancient Roman times. Originally these early forms of concrete were quite unlike the Portland cement we use today and consisted of a combination of volcanic ash and limestone. Over the years concrete has been used in all manner of applications including buildings, bridges, roads and dams, however it wasn’t until Thomas Edison invented Portland Cement at the turn of the 20^th century that the idea that cement could be used to make furniture first came about.

Many designers are keen to design a product from concrete materials. And concrete furniture, it has infinite possibilities. Not only because of the concrete furniture is a long history and classic, but also because of its diversity. Concrete furniture is very practical, even in the presentation of aesthetic concepts, it can also play to the extreme. Different curves, shapes and colors are applied to concrete furniture to bring people visual enjoyment.

Concrete itself is a very specific amount of material, designer choose concrete furniture, is to want to take the natural sense of belonging and rough raw feeling, material simple to without emotional color, so as to create a not deliberate self loneliness, light and cold aesthetic feeling, full of personality, unruly, always show its advanced texture. And under appropriate design, can show different appearance and characteristics again, in the hands of no lack of creative designers, obtained more possibilities, from concrete chandelier to outdoor concrete furniture, became the beauty of unique life, made the advanced beauty of concrete quiet. Do not follow the rules, not bright publicity, the simple beauty is enough to match the delicate two words.

When the patterns and materials are rich to a certain extent, the heart is eager to return to simplicity, but in the design sense of simplicity did not give up poetry, adhere to clean but not barren, use the most real face of the material, until the origin of the return to simplicity, to create a high sense of reduced aesthetics.
