Creacrete

Creacrete™ is a concrete based material which is highly dense and compact making it possible to create filigree and thin-walled objects out of concrete. Special processing makes it possible to achieve a glossy surface which is new to concrete. A nano-scale coating makes the cups and plates hydrophobic and food safe. Creacrete is an alternative to ceramics for floor and wall coverings, decorative objects and facades. As a cold-casting process it is reducing cost and energy consumption. The material from designer Alexa Lixfeld explores new sides of concrete with the aim to realise surfaces which are permanently glossy, abrasion- and acid-resistant, food safe, and hydrophobic.
