Concrete Things by Komplot for Nola

Danish designers Komplot have created a set of concrete furniture for Swedish brand Nola.

Called Concrete Things, the chairs consist of concrete blocks with seats hollowed out, marked with a grid that was inspired by paving.

The project will be on show at CODEO9 as part of Copenhagen Design Week, which begins tomorrow.

Six of the blocks are located outside Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen.
