Designers Thomas Musca and Duyi Han have cast reinforced concrete into furniture with chunky angles and geometric voids that take cues from brutalist architecture.
Musca and Han teamed their skills to design the angles, size and proportions that make the monolithic forms. They are intended to draw on the style of brutalist architecture, which emerged in Great Britain in the 1950s.
Each of the pieces is first modelled using digital software and then built as a basswood mould. Inside these, Musca and Han then pour and cast the forms using glass-fibre reinforced concrete.
Designs include Rockito, which is intended as an abstract take on the traditional rocking chair. The design features a sharply curved seat decorated with eight voids of various sizes.
The similarly designed Rocker chair has a tall upright back and rounded base. Thin triangular and rectangular cutouts accent the sides of the piece, which is staged in a digitally rendered forest of angular concrete columns.
Two geometric holes form the tilted back and flat seat of the Kink Chair. The designers placed the furniture against a visualised wall of jagged concrete blocks.
Stools with geometric designs are also among the collection
