Matter, forms and light to cultivate shadows.

Detail of the Art Deco frieze - Bauhaus Style of the Curb concrete coffee table

Each side of the Curb collection is unique and has its own way of playing with light. The light is sometimes stopped by the concrete mass, sometimes filtered by the tinted glass.When it hits the bas-relief frieze, it casts bold shadows.

This hybrid and unique furniture designed by designer Bertrand Jayr for Lyon Concrete, with his concrete pedestal table and his glass globe, gives free rein to your imagination for its use.

The glass globe of the side table is mouth-blown. Its beautiful irregularities are revealed with the light that passes through it.

When the light is low, the shadow cast by the table accentuates the contrast between the finesse of the legs and the slab of concrete.

The tinted glass is a subtle homage to the late 1970s. The browns and greens that were so popular at that time have been replaced by a dark gray color that’s both elegant and timeless.

Concrete coffee table with glass tray inspired by the Bauhaus school

“Ornamentation is an economic,

moral and cultural crime.” – Adolf Loos, 1908.

“Or not.” – Lyon béton, 2021.

Bas-relief, cornices, imposts, mantling, molding … At the beginning of the 20th century, the Modernist movement, under the influence of Alfred Loos (“Ornament and Crime,” 1908), set out to eliminate all ornamentation from buildings, furniture and other objects. Even Le Corbusier, who we generally admire, was on board at first. Like many others, he eventually changed his mind.

At Lyon Béton, we draw a lot of inspiration from Modernism and its thorough sense of minimalism. But we also believe that ornamentation is not a crime.

So of course, this bas-relief frieze inspired by both Brutalist and Art Deco has no practical use, but it is beautiful. And for us, beauty is useful.

Curb coffee table
An ethereal brutalism

Sitting atop tall, thin legs, the monolithic concrete slab appears to float above the floor, like a skateboard filmed in slow motion, in the middle of a perfect ollie.

The thick dark gray glass top highlights, while hiding it at the same time, a very practical niche to isolate certain objects.
