Some people may have negative connotations for concrete, but the fact is that the versatile material is used for far more than uninspiring gray apartment buildings and utilitarian foundry work. Concrete is an ancient building material that, through its versatility and practical applications, has had several resurrections in architecture and design; from Jutland brutalism to the Great Belt Bridge and from concrete worktops in super modern kitchens to small elegant concrete lamps.
Below you will find our delicious Value for money range of concrete lights!
Since Ancient Greece, the versatile stone material has influenced architecture and is today one of the most used materials in construction worldwide. Despite criticism when the many apartment buildings sprang up throughout the 1960s, more and more people are starting to realize that concrete is actually beautiful in its raw and strong expression.
In most homes, a concrete lamp is also a contrasting lamp, and the beautiful gray material can add an extremely beautiful, stringent and powerful expression. At the same time, the material is versatile in its gray shades, and no matter the color theme of the room, we are sure that a concrete lamp will fit in beautifully. At the same time, you're guaranteed a lamp that will keep its shape and look for a long time to come. Concrete is strong, and if your concrete lamp is to live indoors, you don't have to worry about it wearing out. The concrete that the Romans mixed many, many years ago is still standing. Just look at the Pantheon in Rome.
Concrete is a cast material made by mixing sand, pebbles, water and cement. It's used for all sorts of things, and often with a form of strengthening reinforcement where steel bars are cast into the concrete. Concrete is strong under pressure, but not when pulled - however, it is rare to see a concrete lamp that is reinforced.
Brutalism is coming back. We see it in both the industrial looks that are more popular than ever and in the choice of materials, including concrete. Concrete has a unique texture, and a lamp with cast concrete as a design element has a unique graphic expression that both breaks and compliments whatever is around it. The raw concrete has a strength around it that also strengthens what stands around it. Buy a concrete lamp today and see how it takes over the room and spreads its expression.
Of course, we also have many concrete lamps outside our Value for money range!
