what is creacrete?
May 2nd, 2008 | technical
Creacrete is a concrete based material which is highly dense making it possible to create filigree and thin-walled objects out of concrete. Unlike usual ceramics, Alexa uses the novel aesthetics of Creacrete for the design of tableware. Special processing makes it possible to achieve this glossy surface which is new to concrete. A nano-scale coating makes the cups and plates hydrophobic and food safe.
Cool! I would love to apply my mold-making and casting skill to this material if it’s doable in a small studio setting, but I guess the nano-scale coating makes it unlikely.
