Crete Studio - Holding Concrete Lamp

Like Baking a Cake

Durable Australian concrete is known for its strength and long-lasting properties, making it an ideal material for various applications. Enhanced with iron oxides, it boasts true, enduring colours that remain vibrant over time, unlike surface glazes that are prone to fading. The surfaces of these concrete pieces are low maintenance and easy to clean, holding up well against wear and daily use. Each product features distinctive textures, marbling, and crevices that give it a unique identity and set it apart from mass-produced items, showcasing the natural beauty and individuality of every piece.

The Prodcution Process

1

Design

Each lighting piece starts with a blank concrete canvas, ready to be shaped into organic lines, textures, and vibrant colours.

2

Mixing

We combine dry concrete with chosen colour oxides, adding just the right amount of cold water and ice for the perfect blend.

3

Adding Fibres

Glass fibres are scattered throughout, enhancing strength while keeping our lights light and durable.

4

Moulding

The mix is poured into custom moulds, covered in plastic and warm blankets for a cosy set.

5

Curing

After 24 hours, we de-mould and let our creations breathe on netting racks for seven days.

6

Finishing Touches

Once cured, each light is cleaned and sealed with a premium finish for lasting beauty.
