ABOUT DESIGNERS Concrete has always been the main material for our constructions. Our specialty, however, lies in its processing: in giving it form, color, shape, texture, and character. What always spurred our excitement are the endless possibilities offered by its very nature and qualities, while the uniqueness of each construction is exactly what makes our relationship with this material complete. Our projects used to be of a very large scale, at construction sites. Everything changed when we began to test our skills at a much smaller scale, inside the confined space of the workshop. We...

CONCRETE Concrete is everywhere! It has a past, a present, and a long future! We view concrete as a material of unlimited possibilities, and we make the most out of those. We do not limit our view of concrete only to its industrial form. Concrete can fit anywhere, as long as you give it the right form, shape, texture, and sometimes even color. We believe in its nature, its plasticity. We respect its character and we accept it as is. Concrete isn’t just a temporary trend, it’s a permanent value. Any object made of concrete gains in value thanks to its uniqueness, its character, its...

Quando due persone che condividono gli stessi valori uniscono le loro forze, il risultato non può che essere straordinario. Grazie alla nostra esperienza nella lavorazione e utilizzo del cemento, noi dell’atelier Urbi et Orbi saremo lieti di dare forma alle vostre idee o di collaborare assieme a voi per la realizzazione di progetti personalizzati. Desideriamo che i nostri collaboratori sappiano che la realizzazione di un oggetto in cemento realizzato su misura costituisce un’alternativa altrettanto funzionale di quella offerta da un prodotto di serie. Siamo in grado di progettare (se...

C. Making the final product After having prepared the mold, we can begin the process of making the final product. Thanks to the properties of concrete, we can use one mold to cast 1 or even 2 pieces a day. In the case that the delivery of many final products needs to be accelerated, the production of more molds is necessary. The process of making a product out of concrete with special dimensions includes 3 stages. After deciding on its design, we follow the steps below: Product prototyping is a necessary procedure before making the mold. The prototype is made by use of various materials and...

Vanity tops-sinks. The process for the creation of a countertop with a built-in sink includes the same steps as described above. However, this is made by splitting the mold into 2 or more pieces. One of those is used to cast the sink bowl, i.e. the basin of the sink where water drops. This is the most expensive piece to make. Therefore, we took care to make enough mold pieces of that type, which can then be easily adjusted to the external dimensions required each time. As a result, the cost is to a large extent reduced, as the patternmaking and molding processes are skipped. This kind of...
