CONCRETE AMSTERDAM
Concrete hosts different
disciplines such as
product and interior
designers, architects,
visual marketeers and
now an urban planning/
architectural firm too.
Concrete’s deliberate
choice of breaking away
from traditional hierarchies
and the dominant forces
which dictate the design
process today, gives our
agency unprecedented
freedom. Concrete’s
designers want to be
inspired not just by
modern art but by comics
too, by ideas from the
world of architecture and
multimedia, by haute
cuisine and the snack bar.
They appear contradictory,
but, in this collision, the
perfect expression of our
post-modern age can be
found.
