A symbol of contemporary and brutalist architecture, concrete has become more and more popular in the world of interior design and decoration, introducing versatility and originality into each space. With the help of Carolina and Eduardo—partners and founders of the Mexican studio En Concreto—learn how to make your own pieces, starting from the fabrication of concrete to the very last details.

Explore the basic techniques and how this material is used when making different objects and furniture. Change the look of any space and customize your home with unique pieces made by you.

Start by getting to know Carolina and Eduardo and their career paths, their products, and companies, as well as discover the books, music and other artistic expressions that inspire them. They also talk to you about the final project that you’ll carry out in this course and walk you through the materials needed, learning a little about different applications.

In the second unit, start preparing your workspace, separating safety materials and tools. Perform an exercise creating a small piece to understand the fundamental processes of concrete: making a mold, basic mixing and pouring, demolding, and detailing.

Deepen your knowledge by creating a side table. Start by sketching and defining the dimensions of your piece. Then, prepare the mixture, pour, and unmold, with recommendations to protect and maintain your piece.

Finally, Carolina and Eduardo give you a series of tips on how to take care of your side table and fix any possible cracks and damages. Also, review everything learned and discover more ideas for your next concrete projects.
