Abstract

When we are looking to make a piece of furniture, indoor or outdoor, we immediately think that the requirements related to functionality, ergonomics, flexibility, aesthetics and design will be met. At the same time, through these pieces of furniture, we give the space personality. But in order to obtain the desired shape, we go through a series of studies based on geometrical study. With the unlimited possibilities offered by technology, we have the opportunity to obtain increasingly complex forms of furniture, with a high degree of industrialization, from various materials. Concrete is a beautiful, affordable, weather-resistant material, versatile and suitable for any space, interior or exterior. The purpose of this work is to present such a creative process and the stages that take place in the realization of the concrete furniture piece.
