Elegant and luxury design furniture made out of UHPC

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 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.

New concrete design

The first designers are now working with UHPC desert sand concrete. Unique one-of-a-kind pieces are made with an unprocessed natural material.

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.

New concrete design

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.

UHPC Concrete is an ideal material for tactile design

With UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete, incredible structures and surface fineness can be achieved in combination with other technical advantages for the tactile design specialists or architects and designer. Since UHPC is a material from nanotechnology, the finest particles are processed here which make it possible to achieve previously unprecedented structures and you can produce these structures in large and small dimensions with a very low and simple effort.

UHPC can push model technology to its limits. Because only the quality of the model construction limits the possibilities of UHPC concrete.

Further advantages of UHPC for tactile designer are

- the extremely high strength, which makes even the finest 
  structures stable.
- the fast curing of the material with high early strength
- the very high resistance to almost all environmental conditions
- the asolute seawater resistance
- the extremely high corrosion resistance
- the very good combinability with almost all metals, minerals 

   and plastics
- desert sand UHPC concrete
- extreme white UHPC concrete

For the processing of UHPC concrete no special tools or special knowledge are required.
