Why concrete furniture

GREY ELEGANCE - THE PERFECT LIVING AND FURNISHING COLOUR

There's no doubt about it - grey is the current trend colour for homes, restaurants, hotels and shops. There is hardly a furnishing feature that doesn't have grey as its theme. The great thing about grey is the enormous variety of shades. In this respect, "50 Shades of Grey" is still a great understatement and, as numerous colour and furniture manufacturers prove, grey is by no means on the wane as a colour trend.

The material concrete also has a wide range of grey colour facets and furniture made of grey concrete is not only an ideal neutral colour, but also looks fresh and modern and harmonises perfectly with all other colours. Concrete owes its grey colour to the natural pigments contained in its raw materials. These natural pigments have more complex undertones and give a colour more beautiful nuances. This makes it appear much more lively and interesting.

What is so special about grey and why do we love it?

Grey stands for elegance.

Grey goes perfectly with modern purist or minimalist living or industrial styles and has now made the leap from designer homes and magazine pages into the mainstream.

Grey is a very versatile colour. It can appear dark or theatrical, but also pale and Nordic cool. It can appear masculine or feminine, strong or subtle. 

Grey is a season-independent colour and has been replacing black in the fashion business for some years now. And ultimately, grey is the colour of intelligence (grey cells), age and compromise. Perhaps these three things have something in common... ;)

Concrete is a living natural product

Each of our products is unique. Due to the 100% handmade production in combination with 100% natural material, each product has its own unique look:

Small pore openings and differences in colour make every piece of concrete furniture something very special. Pleasant shades of colour are created by influences such as temperature differences, humidity and post-treatment (e.g. impregnation) to which the concrete is/was exposed.

Velvety surfaces for a pleasant feel

The surface of our concrete is not rough, but extremely smooth and soft. After production, it is impregnated to protect it from soiling. This gives you a highly durable design object with refined quality and the highest standards in terms of material, look and feel.

Pleasant temperature in all seasons

You will always be happy to take a seat on our OPUS COLLECTION benches. Whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter: In its typical form as a block, concrete is a storage medium for heat and cold and adapts to its ambient temperature. Due to their shape, our benches have a reduced level of these properties. The thickness of the material plays a key role. This means that the seating furniture has a pleasant temperature indoors, but when it is very hot outside, it has a pleasant temperature and also gives off some residual heat in the cool evening hours.

Concrete colours that match their surroundings

Choose from 3 colour variants and match your furniture perfectly to your existing furnishings. If feasible, concrete furniture from CO33 is available in natural concrete grey or anthracite. For some concrete furniture (especially when used in public areas), it is important to opt for a lacquered or painted surface for better maintenance. We can also realise this for you.

Great combinability with wood and metal

What could be more beautiful in this fast-moving world than something true and lasting - like the materials concrete, steel and wood?

Create a wonderful harmony for the eye and opt for our concrete furniture with wood and metal elements. The combination of all 3 materials soothes any living space in which they are used.

Warum haben wir uns für die Kombination Beton, Holz und Stahl entschieden und was macht diese Werkstoffe so besonders? 

Concrete, steel and wood are classic materials that have been used in design and construction for centuries.

The different surfaces and colours harmonise wonderfully with each other and behave similarly. They radiate calm and yet are in constant motion, because they "age" and "live". Metal, wood and concrete can be moulded in many different ways. All materials have their origins in nature, are therefore sustainable and recyclable and are now combined in many pieces of furniture from CO33.

Only the best for your concrete furniture

We only use natural materials made from renewable raw materials. Each piece of furniture is lovingly crafted by hand and regionally produced. For our furniture inserts, we use hand-brushed solid oak (or other local woods on request) and stainless or corten steel. 

For outdoor furniture, you can also choose durable KEBONY solid wood - a novelty on the market.
