Concrete design material : 5 surprising reasons it belongs in our interiors | Lyon Béton
Why concrete is becoming a design material

Brutalist Furniture : why raw concrete never really went away
The return of true brutalism in contemporary furniture
The return of brutalism in contemporary furniture Brutalism was long confined to concrete façades of the 1960s — the kind of buildings that divide opinion, that some love and others want torn down. And yet, it’s coming back. Not in the streets, but in living rooms, offices, and everyday spaces. Why now? Probably because people […]

In order to fill this gap, Bertrand Jayr kindly agreed to be interviewed. What sparked your interest in industrial design and how did you pursue your […]

We chose a raw look & feel but the execution is of a handcrafted finesse that can be seen at first sight.

Here at Lyon Béton, when we think of bistro tables, we think of those world-renowned Parisian cafés. Like the Procope, the first rightful Parisian café, where Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot and Montesquieu got lost in thought and where, later, Danton, Marat and Robespierre started the French Revolution.

At Lyon Béton we are passionate about concrete furniture and design. We work with different designers to offer you a wide range of concrete furniture. Find here all our concrete coffee tables, side tables and pedestal tables.
Twist is the most recent collection and also one of our favourites. It consists of a concrete coffee table and a concrete sofa end, both with a metal turntable. The turntable rotates on an off-centre axis which allows it to get closer to you when you are sitting comfortably in your sofa. The pedestal table will be your best friend in the evening when it will hold the lamp while you read your book, while the coffee table will be your faithful peanut servant at card game nights with your friends.
The perspective collection is a minimalist design, all the products are made of a steel structure and a concrete slab that gives them a rough and fine appearance. The rectangular concrete coffee table and the small square concrete coffee table will fit perfectly in small living rooms. The square concrete coffee table XL as for it will adapt perfectly to people who have a larger living room and who wish to spend long evenings playing cards. The last one, the concrete side table will perfectly accompany your sofa corner.
