GLAZED CONCRETE

My aim of developing specific ceramic glazed concrete was to obtain design
of highest artistic quality, optimized usability and durability making synthesis of the arts and technology.

The German philosopher Gernot Bøhme writes
that we when we touch materials feel ourselves as sentient beings;

As we touch materials, the materials touch us.
Beneath the touch, we sense the surrounding material, but simultaneously learn how we (our own flesh and blood)
are touched by our surroundings. In the meeting with materials, then, we sense ourselves. (B
öhme, 1995).

I wished to create spaces which concern us and speak to us,
our bodies, senses and emotions urging us to embrace them.

I wanted through design to create spaces where we feel ourselves as sentient human beings
and as a result hereof act with empathy, altruism and responsibility in the world.
