The challenge.
Conciso started as a young design studio, offering solutions for businesses and creating its line of products. We aimed to enhance handcrafted work and innovate in producing high-quality, aesthetically pleasing everyday items.
Launching a new business is a multifaceted experience. It involves developing design products, creating a brand, managing production technology, handling community engagement, and dealing with product photography and catalogues. It’s not just about design; it also encompasses business management, logistics, and finding suppliers and clients.
Our first product line, “Concrete Collection”, which included luminaires, received the Diseño Cordobés Label from the Municipalidad de Córdoba. This recognition highlighted its cultural, aesthetic, technological, commercial, and environmental merits.
From the ideas to the experimentation.
The main concept was to create luminaries, pushing the limits of the materials and their conventional uses while establishing an opposition between them.
By combining fine materials that evoke both cold and warm sensations, light and heavy contrasts, rough and smooth textures, as well as rustic and delicate elements, a synthesis is generated. This synthesis breaks paradigms in the utilisation of materials, giving rise to new sensations.
The development.
The final result.
Adding various natural oxides to the concrete mixture enabled the creation of a diverse colour palette.
The packaging was crafted from recycled wood, aligning with a sustainable perspective.
The largest concrete manufacturer requested that we create customised products and packaging for their customers.
