Indian design studio Material Immaterial have conceived these miniature concrete pieces that they fondly call “SPACES” to advocate and celebrate concrete’s beauty efficacy and its incalculable contribution to creating and defining spaces in the modern life.
Each piece is an individually complete space defined by Volumes and voids that give the human imagination a glimpse into what could be lying inside. The nine pieces from this first set can be put together around the central ‘Kund’ to create a community space.
The ‘SPACES‘ would adorn your desktop for years to come, and are bound to evoke your imagination every time you look at them, and tell a new story each time.
Many of the best and most influential buildings of the last century are constructed with concrete, from Le-Corbusier’s quintessentially modernist Villa Savoye, to Frank Lloyd Wright’s spellbinding Falling water, and from Oscar Niemeyer’s nation defining Brasilia, to Tadao Ando’s exhilarating Church of the Light.
