Concrete Clocks Furni X Concrete Cat
Concrete Cat was recently approached to do an interesting collaboration project with the renowned Montreal design house Furni Creations. We had originally contacted Furni regarding some beautiful moccasins (rockassins) that they had done as part of another collaboration. I wanted a pair but they were sold out. I am not sure how it started but eventually Mike wanted to know if I could do a clock out of concrete based off his Alba design.
Our concrete products are known for their longevity, durability and superior function, all of the these traits come from the unique properties of our traditional wet cast concrete special formula. But it turned out by gently tweaking the mix I was able to replicate the fine detail in the Alba clock design. It probably would have been very easy to do with a heavily polymerized synthetic blend concrete but we went the extra mile to do it “au natural”.
I highly suggest you go to Furni and try and buy one. If they’re sold out bug Mike and maybe you can convince him to sign up to do a second run of concrete Alba clocks “wink, wink”. There is also a very slim possibility we may put a couple we reserved up for sale on our own site. Due to the complexity of this project we did an extremely short run. Each clock has been poured and hand finished as single units, many details within each clock are cut out by hand as well. If your looking for something extremely unique, hand finished and with an industrial edge the concrete Alba is for you.
