Top 10 Concrete Items For Your Home

Words

We’re always on the lookout for new items we can welcome into our homes. Besides ceramic and copper, one of our favorite materials in design is concrete. The raw finish seems to give pieces a minimal look, which makes it a great addition to any living room. From larger products, like a chair and vase, to tiny items, such as a tissue box and bookend, we’ve compiled a list of design pieces that are all made of concrete. See more products in our shop.

CONCRETE CHAIR

Lyon Beton is a French design studio specializing in everything concrete. Their product range includes smaller design objects as well as furniture pieces. This concrete chair resembles the shape of a design classic from the 1950s and might bring some variety into your dining room when placed next to the typical white or wooden chairs. It’s available for purchase here.

Another design item by Lyon Beton is this bookend named ‘Concrete Brain’. It holds together your favorite books and at the same time can add a quirky touch to your book shelf. The bookend also makes a great gift for every bookworm. You can get it here.

CONCRETE TISSUE BOX

Another example where concrete is used instead of paper is this tissue box designed by fmcdesign. Based in Canada, the studio everything is made by hand and so each one of the items features its own unique details.

This concrete vase is another extraordinary item made by Lyon Beton that is in the shape of a pipeline.
