We cast furniture

In the Concrete Sofa project the casting of concrete is used as a way to create furniture, which shape is informed by ergonomics.

Marcel van Heeswijk shows that there is a lot more possible with concrete than one can imagine. The result can be smooth, almost soft and combined with upholstery very comfortable. The tactile quality of the concrete is opposite to the expectation people have. This is achieved by using high quality finished moulds, polishing afterwards is not needed.
