Under the slogan "Thin concrete products", the Czech brand Gravelli has been creating a range of thin-walled products made from exposed concrete. This has been the case since 2012, when they started with simple kitchen countertops and custom sinks, which you may have read about before on Archiweb.
The core features of the Gravelli brand are innovation and the technological development of concrete mixtures, which are then utilized in traditional craftsmanship. The appearance of the final products consistently carries a minimalist style that does not unnecessarily divert attention and highlights the natural phenomena of concrete.
Concrete, in general, is one of the most popular materials among architects. Therefore, considerable effort has been made to enable its use not only in classic applications but also for interior elements, furniture, and accessories.
It combines well with wood, metal, and glass. Thus, it can be viewed as one of the fundamental elements on the material palette that can enhance the atmosphere of the entire space.
Thanks to experience from custom manufacturing, production capabilities have advanced significantly.
An example is the new table Lucca, which draws attention primarily with its top measuring 2600x1100 mm with a concrete thickness of only 15 mm. The base was designed so that the concrete top appears to float above it, with the supporting metal structure not visible at first glance. The entire table can also be disassembled if necessary.
In addition to large dining tables, the product portfolio also includes coffee tables, pendant lighting, and new types of sinks. The collection of concrete jewelry is also noteworthy, reflecting the careful approach to production and attention to the smallest details.
If you love concrete and are considering its use, take the opportunity to visit the Gravelli manufacturing and showroom in Prague 9, where you will have the chance to see not only the finished products but also the entire production process that each Gravelli product undergoes over five weeks. As this is a creative space, you may also see items that are currently being prepared and have not yet been published anywhere.
