Tove Adman

I really love Tove Adman's work. So gorgeous. I am predisposed to concrete anyway, but I especially like it when it turns up in unexpected places. Candlesticks and light fixtures from Tove Adman. She has a bunch of other products on her website, but these were my favorites.

Konzuk

I have always really admired Karen Konzuk's jewelry. Her work appeals to the architect in me - I especially love the pieces that use concrete and stainless steel. There is something subversive about the use of concrete in jewelry - I always think of concrete as a building material. I love that she takes this commonplace material and uses it in tiny amounts to create delicate pieces of jewelry.

Stella

Vases derived from paper bags, and cast concrete stepping stones with graphic perforations for moss and grass to grow through. Stella is a collaboration between Johnathan Hopp + Sarah Auslander.

Acronym Designs

Based in Kansas City, many of Acronym Designs' products are made not only from reclaimed wood, but from the cut-offs of reclaimed wood from another innovative company: Elmwood Reclaimed Timber. The dovetail joint between the concrete and wood is a nice detail that highlights the mix of raw and finished materials.
