Concrete properties
A Living, Authentic, and Timeless Material
Concrete is a noble and living mineral material. Composed of carefully selected natural aggregates and pigments, it is distinguished by its raw aesthetic and unique texture. Each concrete creation is the result of artisanal craftsmanship and features natural variations that make it a singular piece.
Air bubbles and pinheads: The hallmark of authenticity
During casting, air can become trapped in the material, forming small bubbles or pinholes on the surface. Far from being defects, these marks contribute to the concrete’s visual identity and reinforce its artisanal, mineral appearance.
Grain appearance: a natural texture
Our concrete pieces are manufactured from carefully selected raw materials. The natural aggregates and sands are subtly revealed on the surface, offering depth and an authentic feel, at the crossroads of raw and refined.
Color nuances and variations: a lively aesthetic
Mass-dyed concrete ensures a lasting color. However, subtle shade variations may appear, resulting from the reaction between the pigments and the mineral components. These nuances give each piece depth and a unique character.
To preserve the integrity of the material, never use water that exceeds 40°C. Excessive heat can cause thermal shock, which may lead to irreparable surface cracks.
Concrete, in all its richness and singularity, embodies a subtle balance between craftsmanship and innovation. Each piece we shape is an invitation to appreciate the authenticity of a living material, designed to stand the test of time with elegance.
