Being such an easy material to make and use, concrete has provided us with many sturdy structures and innovations for many many years. However, in the last little while concrete creations have broken from the architectural staple and provided us with a different area of usage.
In this cluster you will find concrete creations that extend into the genres of jewelry, electronics and even eco-friendly tools. This crushing material may just be our friend after all!
