Beat Poet / 22designstudio Concrete Rings

Beat Poet teams up with 22designstudio of Taiwan to develop this new series of concrete rings, based on the brutalist ideas of architects such as Louis Kahn and Tadao Ando. The rings are characterized by simple geometry and an almost exclusive use of concrete, with the form work holes left intact. The concrete, imperfect and raw, like a man-made contribution to the natural environment, ages gracefully in a wabi-sabi manner, making visible the invisible logic of nature. Further information on Beat Poet is offered through the brand’s website.
