Concrete Furniture in Edmonton
May 22, 2009
Concrete Cat is pleased to announce the release of their new line of furniture. The line is comprised of coffee tables as well as some ground vessels that would go well beside a fireplace or beside a couch. All works are being shown at Vivid Concepts Lighting + Design at 11807b – 105 Ave Edmonton, Alberta. Our intention is to create pieces that engage viewers with texture, colour, and shape. How much more can furniture be if it not only looks great in the home but has artistic qualities that evoke emotion and feeling when viewed? The right furniture can change a room in colour tone, proportions as well as emotions evoked by that room. While structurally pieces can be duplicated in form, the voiding and colour variations within each piece are one-of-a-kind. If you have an idea for a unique creation for your home or office don’t hesitate to contact us, we would love to help it be realized in concrete.
The Arashi “Stormy Wind” table is a multi-coloured piece that has a very pleasing mixture of colour on the top. The original design did not have the side wings going past the legs. These wings were added to the design to create a bit more balance for this piece. Structurally Arashi has a very nice balance and flow of colour and weight between the top and the legs. The dark swirling colours of the top almost look painted on; while the exposed aggregate of the edges solidifies the fact that this is a table made of stone, sand, cement and water.
The Konkuri-Koppu “Concrete Vessel” borrows part of Concrete Cat’s sink forms to create a smooth finished void in a block of concrete. There is a very interesting mix of colour in this piece creating a mottled effect in grays and browns. This vessel would look great as an accent beside a fireplace or couch.
The Uranami “Breaker” was originally inspired by the combination of an anvil and a tank. It was an experiment in proportions and how to carry weight through a piece visually while keeping the actual weight of the piece down enough so that the table can still be moved. Like all three pieces in this run the colour has turned out tremendously well and really needs to be seen in person to be appreciated.
We can’t wait for you to come and see this work! And if you want one of these Make Contact!
