Craftsmanship meets art: Unique steel sculptures with a concrete base


Concrete and steel - the material from which modernity was built. Solid, purist, clear in its design language and always committed to practical use. The quintessence of our furniture design is also reflected in these very special new additions to the CO33 family: filigree steel sculptures, supported by a base made of solid concrete. Abstract shapes, seemingly floating in space and yet always recognisable and grounded. CO33 goes Art - join us!

Enhancing spaces with concrete and steel sculptures

Abstract, figurative - or actually both? What we recognise in art objects often says a lot about ourselves and our view of the things around us. It is no coincidence that it is said that the meaning of art lies in the eye of the beholder.
With this in mind, when creating our sculptures, we have allowed ourselves to play with geometric shapes and their effect - a fascination that the great pioneers of abstract art at the beginning of the last century had already succumbed to: Squares, semicircles, rhombuses - moulded from steel, THE building material of the industrial world par excellence - come together, form an order in space and yet visually always remain in motion, in flux, organic as it were. Like leaves in the wind, boats on the water or dancing flames - what we see is there and yet is subject to constant change.
When viewed at close range, the figure becomes pure form, hard, raw material that can be grasped and understood, emphasised by the chosen material of metal: cool, smooth, industrial, even if formed by human hands. But even from a short distance, this impression becomes blurred, the iron forms suddenly appear mobile, light and delicate, something natural, not a rigid object - perhaps a branch with leaves or a reflection of light? Depending on the viewing angle and incidence of light, the effect of the steel sculptures changes, making an impression both as an eye-catcher indoors and in the garden or on the patio.

A sustainably beautiful combination: steel and concrete

The floating metal constructions are always supported on a concrete cube in the proven purist CO33 style. As the base that supports our small steel works of art, the concrete is not the primary element for once, but deliberately takes a back seat, practically becoming the "servant" of the sculptures attached to it. At the same time, with its solid look and feel, it grounds the delicate-looking works of art. In keeping with this task, we have therefore not given the concrete a velvety-smooth surface finish this time, unlike with most of our design furniture, but have left the material in its original, rough form and appearance, with all the pores, fine cracks and unevenness that characterise concrete. In contrast, the steel sculptures themselves are completely smooth, their lines precise and strict. The steel can either be left untreated, with an industrial look or finished with a special gold-look paint, which gives it a particularly elegant appearance.

Available in a choice of classic light concrete grey or an elegant anthracite slate tone, the concrete bases give each sculpture the stability it needs to be placed in any location - whether free-standing in the room or outside in the garden.

Choose between six different organic-geometric motifs and two sizes for the new eye-catcher in your home! The smaller sizes have an overall height of between 48 and 66 cm and are perfect as a visual centrepiece on a sideboard or console table, while the large models are between 51 and 78 cm high and are therefore particularly suitable for free-standing placement in a room or as an outdoor object. To maximise the full effect of the sculptures, we clearly recommend placing them in pairs.

We produce each sculpture as an individual commission by hand - they are therefore always unique.

Art for indoors and outdoors: stylish accents with modern steel sculptures

You may be asking yourself: is there even room for decorative objects such as a design sculpture in a consistently minimalist interior design style whose sole purpose is aesthetic? Couldn't the room appear slightly overloaded and the perfectly designed relationship between form, colour and material lose its expression? After all, nobody wants to feel overwhelmed by the furnishings when they enter a home. The same applies to the selection of decorative objects in particular: Less is more. But skilfully placed accents, chosen to match or deliberately contrast with the room concept, can be a connecting element between the interior and the people who move and live in it. Objects of art such as paintings, a stylish vase or even sculptures reveal a small, well-measured insight into the personality of the owner, make a convincing statement of taste and style and appeal to our sense of beauty. They emphasise the interior design in a subtle yet effective way and interact with the people in the room.

Sculptures are particularly suitable here as they bring a haptic dimension that is not inherent to a picture hanging on the wall, for example: art you can touch, literally.

The boundaries between stylish decorations from series production and works by artists, most of which are unique pieces, are quite fluid. Our steel sculptures with concrete bases can also be categorised in this transitional area between arts and crafts and collector's items: Made as individual pieces, with the highest level of precision craftsmanship, yet reproducible and - to a certain extent - customisable according to the customer's wishes. Created not as a gallery object, but as a living component of your very personal living space(s), in the same workshop and with the same high-quality materials as our furniture. This production method also enables us to offer you our steel sculptures at a much more affordable price than is usual for art objects of this kind.
