Stitching Concrete - Florian Schmid

Florian Schmid is an industrial designer based in Munich. His Stitching Concrete Project uses the material Concrete Canvas - a flexible material, reinforced by fabric fibres running through it. The canvas is folded into the desired shape and the edges stitched together. It is then supported on a wooden mould, soaked in water and allowed to harden for 24 hours. The final product is waterproof, fireproof, UV resistant and durable. Schmid combines the softness and warmth of the fabric with the stability and durability of concrete.
