With their inherent strength and beautiful natural hues, tactile smooth finish, clean lines and elegant curves, concrete furniture adds both style and function to any home, hospitality or commercial space including restaurants, cafes, hotels, clubs, offices, galleries and studios.

 The combination of simple yet sophisticated design and powerful presence makes us love concrete furniture even more.

Although all concrete furniture is made from cement, the type of cement and sealant used on the finished product determine a different outcome.

Durable and hard-wearing

Concrete furniture doesn’t scratch or chip as easily as timber, glass or stainless-steel furniture and it takes a very heavy object hitting the edge to chip it. Concrete tables  vary in its ability to withstand impact, stains and the outdoor elements.

“Concrete is one of the strongest, most durable man-made products. While new technology has improved on the traditional basic concretes, concrete structures built over 2000 years ago by the Romans – such as The Colosseum, The Pantheon, bath houses and aqueducts – are still standing today and a testament to concrete’s exceptional strength and durability,”.

Versatility

“Concrete works incredibly well outdoors – for example, on covered or exposed patios, terraces, in courtyards, or in your backyard – but the beauty of this material is that it’s also superb when used inside,” They’re designed to create an attractive, seamless flow between different spaces and enhance the look and liveability of any home. Concrete provides amazing flexibility.

Concrete can also be a good choice in exposed area, as they won’t blow over in a strong wind. They also don’t have any seams that can harbour moisture and lead to mould, dirt and grime that can affect the look and feel of each piece.

Design freedom

With its uniform smooth finish, natural hues and clean lines, concrete furniture looks good on its own and when paired with any style of furnishings to create the look you desire. And its earthy natural hues complement timbers, stone, tiles and man-made composites, like terrazzo style concrete floors, and create an inviting cohesive space.

Interior designers are using concrete furniture and accessories to create many looks including:

modern minimalist looks with pared back styling and accessories

industrial style by pairing with metal accents like steel chairs and rough and unfinished timbers

retro ‘70s look by adding dark timbers, terracotta and slate tiles, sheepskins, cow hide rugs, and indoor plants

country or rustic style with raw timber, check and/or floral fabric cushions, vases with flowers from the garden

Easy to maintain

Most concrete furniture simply requires a wipe over with mild soap and water to keep clean. For concrete furniture that is super easy to clean, choose brands with no cracks or seams that harbour dust and grim,

A smart investment

As concrete furniture is durable and strong, it’s long-lasting, keeps it good looks, and rarely requires repairing, which make it a cost-smart investment. Curiosa’s concrete ranges are exceptionally hardwearing and have a durable surface that doesn’t flake, peel or crack and can withstand extreme weather conditions and UV exposure, which means they look good for years and years.
