FORMA & CEMENTO

Forma&Cemento is an Italian excellence in the craftsmanship of cement. From tables to bookcases, stools to vases, and even kitchen countertops and wall and floor coverings. Forma&Cemento creates luxury products easily recognizable by the exclusive treatment of the material and the passionate pursuit of lightness and style. And it is from the passion and insight of a structural engineer that Forma&Cemento was born in 2015. Our mission is to design and manufacture concrete products in such a way that the material, traditionally considered poor by comparison, through skilled craftsmanship, becomes prized among the finest marbles and the most sought-after woods.

The greatest challenge we have encountered in "domesticating concrete" and bringing this extraordinary material inside our homes has been the need to lighten our products as much as possible by taking concrete to the extreme and minimizing thicknesses. Forma&Cemento's style can be summarized as a mix of brutalism, metaphysics, and primitivism. But we do not limit ourselves to only that. In fact, we take inspiration from everything around us and especially from classical architecture without ever setting limits for ourselves, but trying to show the infinite potential of our material.

Our 100% handcrafted production process is completely Made in Italy, giving us the ability to customize our products according to our customers' requests.

Working with concrete is a highly iterative process at every stage, including the design process. The shape must fit the material and the material must accompany the shape. Much of the work, lies in the proper design of not only the part but also the molds that will then be used to create it. Concrete processing also changes for each individual product and color: the mix undergoes constant changes to be as efficient as possible based on the shape and type of product being made. This is why it is essential to have a full understanding of the material, unlike other stone materials, which are worked with by subtraction, concrete is worked by casting and consequently by addition. The passion for this material also stems from its aesthetic characteristics as well as its surprising versatility. Our processing of the material aims to enhance the materiality of concrete while letting its peculiarities shine through, characteristics that make it valuable and unique.
