A new vision for a timeless material, these custom-made products will appeal to those with discerning taste seeking one-of-a-kind refinement.
Beautifully designed pieces can transform the look and feel of your home. Incorporating natural elements and materials creates a sense of authenticity and invites relaxation. From bespoke concrete kitchen counters to custom vanities, Blend Concrete Design specialises in designing and producing stunning custom-made concrete pieces that enhance the aesthetic of both interior and exterior spaces. Utilising the natural qualities of concrete and combining modern designs with high-quality materials, Blend Concrete Design creates products for both commercial and residential projects, delivering premium quality, understated refinement and visceral appeal.
Whether it’s a vision of what you’d like or there’s a particular design you want to create, Blend Concrete Design can make it a reality. Some of their most popular pieces include kitchen benches, vanities with integrated sinks, wall panels and barbecue benches, but they also love a challenge. According to Blend Concrete Design’s lead designer, Ash Meintjes, “We love pushing the boundaries of concrete design, so if you can envision it, we can create it. Our team has unmatched product knowledge of glass fibre-reinforced concrete and concrete fabrication processes, which allows us to tackle complex projects and difficult design challenges. We love to see our clients’ reactions when we deliver on their vision.”
In tandem with their custom works, Blend Concrete Design’s online store showcases the team’s in-house designed collection of concrete products, including a range of concrete basins, tables and a bath. Available in 13 colours, each piece is made to order and is as unique as its owner. Just launched is a range of beautiful concrete mirrors featuring four unique shapes, each one available in two sizes and 13 colours. With locally handcrafted concrete frames, they can be ordered with optional back and front lighting for a little extra flair. Pairing a concrete mirror with a concrete basin creates a cohesive and contemporary look. Whether you’re looking for subtlety or contrast, experiment with different colour and shape combinations to find the best concrete mirror and basin combo for the space.
Concrete is a fantastic material to design with due to its aesthetic and functional versatility. “With concrete, you can choose whether you want your piece to be the core feature of a space or to act as a complementary material,” says Ash. “Our bespoke concrete products make the perfect statement piece, but they can also be used to complement many different materials and styles.” Concrete’s aesthetic works with a wide range of design styles — rustic or contemporary, industrial or traditional, or something more eclectic. Really, the choices are endless. With a bespoke product like custom-made concrete, you’ll want to preserve the look long-term. As all products made by Blend Concrete Design are sealed with high-quality sealants, your piece will be protected from scratches and stains. Once sealed, concrete is also naturally hard-wearing, durable and hygienic. Since the concrete sealer used is UV-resistant, all products can be used indoors and out, and will maintain their beautiful finish despite all kinds of weather. Outdoor products can be cleaned using a high-pressure hose, making them easy to maintain.
If you’re looking for a uniquely beautiful statement piece for your home, concrete is a spectacular choice, particularly in Blend Concrete Design’s range of colours. Plus you can request something extra special. The in-house design team specialises in all things concrete and can offer sound advice, no matter your project. “We work with our clients to really understand their objective and vision so we can capture that and create the perfect pieces for their spaces. We also offer custom colours and a colour-matching service. If you’re looking for a particular shade, you can work with our team and we’ll mix colours to achieve the perfect hue for your space,” says Ash.
To top it off, all pieces are made in the company’s Brisbane workshop, which means you’re supporting local artisans. “We’re dedicated to high-quality products and innovative solutions,” says Ash. “We’re proud to say our concrete is 100 per cent locally handcrafted, making each and every piece truly unique.”
