Everything About Concrete

Concrete Easy Chair Made from Concrete Canvas

This concrete easy chair is made for your garden!

Swedish designer Maria Gustavsson has developed furniture partly made of a new material called ‘concrete canvas’, a fabric that is infused with portland cement, for her label ‘Swedish Ninja‘. She drapes the dry fabric onto inflatable pillows and a wooden frame and then sprays on water to hydrate the cement and harden the fabric. She staples the fabric to create seams and even installs buttons for concrete easy chairs, ottomans, and even lampshades.
