We have always been fond of concrete as a building material, and now we have reason to be even more partial to it. We loved the concrete art that was blogged about on Apartment Therapy last year, but this seems a bit more easily incorporated into more industrial settings as well as the home...

Graphic Concrete, a company out of Helskinki, uses a patented technology to add a pattern to the surface of any concrete plane. The patterns and designs that they offer are very modern, and we think there are a multitude of applications that this technique would look stunning on. Custom designs are also available--which means there is no end to the creativity that can be applied to something that would otherwise be an ordinary surface!
