Yoan Capote - Concrete sculptures
Yoan Capote is a Cuban artist.
He merges human organs with inanimate objects, rearranges the human body and reinvents the purpose of everyday life: the sculpture Nostalgia, which features an ordinary suitcase unzipped to reveal a wall of bricks, can be seen as a metaphor for nomadism and its limits, the wall of bricks standing for our own impediments we all carry with us wherever we go.
This work concentrates on the polemics of gender (male, female homosexuality etc…) applied to a design exercise about the representation of gender. The intention of the artist was to find a three-dimensional shape that in two different positions represents the male and female breast. The two concrete pieces are exactly the same sculptural shape; in different positions. The furniture has both female and male views.

Concrete speakers - Shmuel Linski
A final project from Shenkar college: concrete speakers. Shmuel Linski created these intersting pieces.
"The Horn speaker technology that I used in my project, works just great with the concrete, even without the need of padding the speakers from the inside.
The Driver, which is located in the top part of the speaker, moves the air through a pipe (96cm long) and into a horn shaped mouth in the bottom of the speaker. The weight (56kg) makes the speakers very solid, and turns these speakers into a unique product, invoking a sense of nirvana for concrete lovers and audiophiles."
Remember the concrete espresso machine? It was Linski too...

Omer Arbel - chair
Another chair today made of concrete.
Omer Arbel, the Vancouver-based designer of the lauded 1.2 Shelf, has used ductile concrete—usually an infrastructural material—in its first application as furniture. Arbel’s 8.0 Chair—the inaugural piece in what the designer anticipates will be a series of outdoor pieces—has the pallor of a sunbaked Nevada salt flat and seems to project in all directions. “The concrete is very, very, very, very strong,” Arbel says. “It allows me to create this incredibly thin, cantilevering form.’
