Fabric: concrete & canvas stool

Product design & manufacture

Fabric is an outdoor seating collection that marries concrete and canvas. Each seat is made of a synthetic layer composed of a specific dry concrete and PVC sheet formula. The 5mm material is flexible, allowing each seat to be molded white dry. When hydrated, the composite quickly hardens, forming a thin, tough layer that is long lasting, waterproof, and fire-resistant.

The collection is based on the results of structural research undertaken. In addition to the material itself, the project focuses on pattern design techniques and geometry in order to create stable, volumetric shapes that can stand on their own — without supplementary support. Fabric is a unique series of seats that merge textile warmth with concrete coldness.
