Turkey-based design consultancy firm Venn has created a series of seating units, titled 'Beton,' that are cast in glass fiber-reinforced concrete.
The designers wanted to work with a material that was not only flexible, but also enduring, ensuring that the final seating units achieved the highest level of aesthetic and functional quality. The use of GFRC (glass fiber-reinforced concrete) allowed the designers to reach these objective goals within the confines of this specific project.
Those who enjoy an industrial aesthetic will naturally gravitate to the Beton seating; the design is dynamic and fluid, yet has a strong enough presence so that it will become a decorating focal point that adds instant character to any space.
