Design+Innovation: Concrete Cloth

December 1st, 2009

Winner of material of the year of the Material ConneXion, Concrete Cloth is a fabric that has cement applied to it. The revolutionary material has layers of cement among layers of fabric above a PVC support, which will be molded and mixed with water and after it dries, it will keep the shape formed.

Because it is water-resistant and fireproof, Concrete Canvas, responsible for the product, is hoping that it can be used in disasters, military situations and commerical environments.

The fact that the material has come straight from the design world and also that it will contribute in a direct way to help the growth of the economy, the society and several types of industries only helps us believe that it will last for a long time.
