Concrete cube on a cord //gypsum plaster//

Unique imperfect perfection with attention to details

Raw concrete reminds of an urban city as utopian ‘brutalist’ place, a monochrome scenery that evokes vivid memories of busy life but still retains calm and tranquil mind. Each piece is to tell a story of a place, city, person, experience, and the headline is yours to write. You write your future; you write your style. Be inspired by your story.

Minimal brutalist cube pendant made of artist plaster on an adjustable cord with macramé finish.
These timeless architectural geometric pieces are created for people with attention to fine details and minimal style that can be implemented in any occasion.
All the pieces are designed and manufactured in our small studio / concept store in Athens. Each piece has been cast and sanded with great care and attention, in separate steps that take several days to be finished. These pieces look like they have been fabricated and mass made due to their industrial style and the nature of material, however no 3d printer or any machinery were used. Each piece is individually hand poured with the help of a mold and is handcrafted in several steps in small batch.
We use artist concrete plaster, natural gypsum from Greece, a hard industrial material to create a wearable architectural pieces.

The cord is closed with knitted macramé knots so it is adjustable, finished with the two beads that you can simply remove if you cut the cord and burn the edges again. The macramé cord edges are burned so that they do not untangle, so please note the ending finishes are darker in color due to that reason.
In contact with skin, oils, moisture and air concrete becomes darker and shiner over time. It is also possible for the edges and corners to become more smooth over time. Take care of your concrete jewelry.

Although plaster is strong, it is not unbreakable - if dropped on a hard surface, it may chip, crack or shatter, so please treat it gently.
Irregularities and variation in color, shape, size and air bubbles holes are not fault but they are rather beautiful imperfections that make each piece unique, so each piece slightly differs from the piece on the photograph. The unfinished look is what gives the cast objects its charm and simplicity in the raw ‘beton brut’ material.
