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 beenavailable 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.
