# Collaborative Concrete Home Accessories Samuel Ross & Jobe Burns Make Simplistic Concrete Objects By Amy Duong | Published 2018-03-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-objects References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/concrete-objects-sculptures-minimalists-dream/) & [slamjamsocialism](https://www.slamjamsocialism.com/brands/concrete-objects) Concrete Objects is the creative result of blending together the minds of A COLD WALL's Samuel Ross and fellow designer Jobe Burns. The two have an ongoing collaboration and deliver aesthetics that surround [industrialism, brutalism and bauhaus concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highsnobiety-x-bauhausarchiv). Overall, Concrete Objects can be taken literally, as the offerings are concrete objects themselves. The designers collectively craft home accessories that are both simple and impactful. There is this unique minimalism that the collection exudes because they are not only pieces of concrete, but they also are intricately designed and thought out. There are asymmetrical details and contradicting clean cuts. Some offerings from Concrete Objects include [candle holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-mater), trays, display cups and [incense burners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aw030001na) to name a few. All of the pieces are crafted from solid concrete, staying true to their nam, with branding done with engravings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalistic Concrete Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in creating minimalistic concrete designs for various industries, such as home decor, architecture, and furniture. - **Industrial-inspired Aesthetics:** Exploring industrial-inspired aesthetics in design can lead to disruptive innovation in fields like interior design, fashion, and art. - **Combining Contradicting Elements:** Embracing the combination of contradicting elements in design can open up disruptive innovation prospects across sectors like product design, retail, and packaging. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can benefit from adopting collaborative concrete designs, offering customers unique and minimalist options for their living spaces. - **Architecture:** Collaborative concrete design can introduce disruptive innovations in architectural projects, pushing the boundaries of construction materials and aesthetics. - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore concrete-inspired designs to create modern and bold pieces that challenge traditional materials and styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Sculptural Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/massproductions-x-arket.md) - [Concrete Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancora.md) - [Concrete Hand-Poured Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skkn-by-kim-2.md) - [Material Art Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ferro-capsule.md) - [Candle-Honoring Artisanal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-objects-collection.md) - [Utilitarian Design Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment.md) - [Sculptural Homeware Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solidnature-x-wandler.md) - [Chic Celebratory Candle Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diptyque-simple-objects.md) - [Material Tensions Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/between-the-lightness-and-the-darkness.md)
