Concrete is an awesome material, and I have no idea why it has taken me until now to realise this! Above are some amazing products that are really only interesting due to the material. OK some may say it is gimmicky in certain usage situations, but when a standard material is use in an interesting way, it really can give great results.
Fair enough it really does not abide by ‘truth to material’ but I feel this is the whole point of using concrete. It allows a designer to create an extremely industrial styled product, whilst maintaining a minimalistic and modern aesthetic; and can even give a simple form something new. One of the best examples of this is in furniture, where tables can be in such a simple form yet still look exquisite due purely to the material.

Designed by Qaaim Goodwin, this is the re-invention of the traditional desk calendar within an office space. Here the user has the ability to change it to any composition suited to desk size and put it away at the end of the day without wasting space.

Objects that seem like half-finished sketches of candle holders, vases, bowls and bottles by British designer Maya Selway.
365 is stitching the time as it passes by. It is knitting 24 hours a day and one year at the time, showing the physical representation of time as a creative and tangible force. After 365 days the clock has turned the passed year into a 2-m long scarf. Now the past can be carried out in the future and the upcoming year is hiding in a new spool of thread, still unknitted.
