着色混凝土家具
Pigmented concrete emulates sculptural stone in Gestalt furniture by Sment

比利时Sment设计工作室设计了一系列几何混凝土家具，他们使用深色颜料创造出宝石一般的错觉。

该系列家具名为“Gestalt”，它由三件组成：一盏高的圆柱形灯，刻出的部分可以轻轻地将光线柔和地反射回抛光的表面，一个拱形的座位，一个带有三个腿的低矮的环形桌子。

每件作品都使用添加了颜料的混凝土被浇铸在一个模子里。然后抛光材料，创造出类似宝石的效果。

Dark pigments create the illusion of precious stones in this series of geometric concrete furniture by Belgian design studio Sment.
The Gestalt collection is made up of three objects: a tall, cylindrical lamp with a carved out section that helps it gently reflect light back off the polished surface; a seat in the shape of an arch; and a low, ring-shaped table that sits on three squat feet.
Each piece is cast in a mould, with pigments added to the concrete. The material is then polished to create the stone-like final effect.



Sment设计工作室的联合创始人Jochen Sablon告诉Dezeen的记者：“我们研究了几种颜料的使用方法。着色和抛光的结合，导致了有机图案的超现实扭曲，这让我们想起了天然材料，如石头或大理石。”

他说：“然后再加上基本的几何形状，让每一件作品形成抽象的雕塑。”

"We investigated several ways of using pigment," Sment co-founder Jochen Sablon told Dezeen. "The combination of pigmentation with polishing leads to a surreal twist of organic patterns which reminds us of natural materials such as stone or marble."
"This together with the basic geometrical form results in an abstract sculpture for every piece," he said.



该项目旨在探索出一种方法，将混凝土制造成像宝石一样的材料。

台灯和座椅都是实心混凝土。而桌子是围绕一圈绝缘材料浇筑的混凝土，它足够轻巧，可以满足家庭使用，它有一个水磨石底部，以增加强度。

桌子表面的小半圆凹槽把它分成3份，它可以拆卸，以便顶部在不使用可以放置在一侧。

The aim of the project was to find a new way to present concrete as a precious material.
The lamp and the seat are solid concrete, while the table is cast around a loop of insulation material to make it lightweight enough for domestic use. It has a terrazzo bottom for additional strength.
Small, semi-circular grooves in the table's surface divide it into thirds. The piece can also be dismantled, so that the top can be placed on its side when not in use.



Sment设计工作室由Sablon和Frederik Bogaerts创立于比利时维尔沃德，Sablon是一名执业建筑师，Frederik Bogaerts主攻研发特定材料的使用潜力。

Sablon说：“我们在探索材料的边界和混凝土本身有效性能之间的平衡。”

“对于“Gestalt”系列，通过强调和扩大模具的局限性，我们不断地改进结果，直到它们变得如此纯净，几乎变成了雕塑。”

Based in Vilvoorde, Belgium, Sment was founded by Sablon – who is also a practicing architect – and Frederik Bogaerts to focus on investigating the potential of specific materials.
"The research is always a balance between searching the boundaries of the material and the effective properties of the concrete itself," said Sablon.
"By emphasising the limitations of the moulds and enlarging them [for the Gestalt collection], we kept on refining the results until they were so pure that they almost became sculptures."



“Gestalt”系列在室内艺术节（Interieur Festival）首次亮相，该节日是2018年国际双年展的一个分支，展览位于比利时科特赖克。展览日期在2018年10月。

该艺术节持续到11月4日，它在一家前医院里举办了一场重点是青年作品的盛大展览。设计师被邀请接管医院内的现有空间，包括手术室、恢复室、病房和行政空间。

The Gestalt collection debuted at the Interieur Festival, an offshoot of Biennale Interieur 2018 in Kortrijk, Belgium in October 2018.
The festival runs until November 4 with a sprawling exhibition inside a former hospital the focuses on highlighting young talent. Designers were invited to take over existing spaces within the hospital, including surgical theatres, recovery rooms, wards and administration spaces.



最近，其它使用混凝土设计家具的还有公交站台（公交站台），它属于格鲁吉亚Rooms工作室设计的地球生命（Life On Earth）系列的一部分，该系列参考了20世纪的野兽派公交站。

Other recent experiments in creating concrete furniture include the Bus Stop Bench, part of the Life On Earth collection by Georgian design duo Rooms, which references brutalist bus stops from the 20th century.
