Elegant design furniture made out of UHPC

New concrete design
More and more designers around the world
are fascinated by concrete. It is a material
that we believe is much more sustainable
than plastic and also has a much longer
service life than plastic. Concrete is easier
and more environmentally friendly to recycle
than plastic.

Concrete can be used in all climates, even the
most extreme. For some time now, experiments
with concrete have been carried out in space.
It is a possible building material for the extreme

conditions on the moon and on Mars.

The only problem for many designers and
artists is the necessary wall thickness and
weight. Today, furniture is thick-walled
with metal reinforcement. A simple bench
without a backrest for two people can weigh
up to 1500 kg for some manufacturers.
Many tables, chairs, etc. have an enormous
weight and cannot be moved by one person.
You can not say that the previous concrete
furniture is gracious and elegant, it really is

not. Apparently old natural stone art elements
are copied with concrete today, at least that
is how they look.

The architects, designers and artists may
not even have the knowledge that UHPC
Ultra High Performance Concrete has been
available to them for several decades.
A concrete material that is extremely strong
and stable but also has a non-concrete
flexibility. UHPC is superior to concrete in

all areas. With a UHPC material, designer
furniture can be created that was previously
only available in terms of wall thickness for
metals and plastics.

UHPC design element could be sunk in the
sea and they would remain there unchanged
until the end of time.

A bench as described above would weigh

less than half of concrete with UHPC.
Surfaces of outstanding fine structures can be
achieved. Art objects can be produced in an
 unimagined richness of detail, both large
and small, up to the jewelry ring on the
finger in which one or more gems are
embedded.
Furniture could be combined with wood,
metal or glass in a new way.
UHPC is a concrete material that can be
bent in a specific construction.
