As the name suggests, this concrete table -- dubbed the Concreta -- was designed to have a heavy impact.
The Concreta's circular top rests on a sculptural gold base so slim it's hard to believe it doesn't crumble under the weight of its concrete counterpart. The heavy top was made from a simple concrete mold and elicits an industrial feel that's balanced by the framing.
The table was created by Duco Lab, a design company that rests its main focus within the world of concrete creation. The substance is one which is equal parts difficult and satisfying to work with. Concrete home decor speaks to urban dwellers with an eye for industrial design, as this concrete table is as industrial and modern as it is warm and welcoming.
