Hard Goods: Concrete Furniture

Hard Goods make lovely concrete and steel chairs. They don't reveal the concrete mix that enables them to be so thin, but Design Milk mentions it is an "engineered concrete". This is usually code for adding pozzolans and fibres and balancing everything perfectly. 


No. 002 Modern Muskoka Chair

The owner of Hard Goods, Brandon Gore, has a great statement about cost and quality on his own website http://hard-goods.com.

“As with all things in life, you get what you pay for. My price is a direct reflection of the quality of work I produce. If budget is your deciding factor, then I am absolutely not the right person for you. I am not the WalMart of craftsmanship. However, if you value expertise, distinction, and knowing that you bought the best, then I’m the craftsman you’ve been looking for.” I couldn't agree more.

Concrete Furniture can really be a great touch for any home. They had some really nice options at Mecox-- and they are so durable as well as pretty.

The concrete wall has an interesting design. I've never seen one quite like it. I've also never seen anyone make a light fixture from concrete like that. It creates a very unique feel.

I can't imagine that concrete can be possible a very elegant chair. The style, the look, and the durability are so much impressive. CBS concrete floors would like to thank and support your work.
