We at Ideal Surface are happy that more designers are discovering concrete! Many are discovering that concrete is a versatile, moldable medium that is handcrafted into distinctive surfaces or focal features. This look of distinction is custom-made and thus inherently unique.
Ideal Surface creates each concrete piece using proprietary mix ingredients, casting techniques and surface treatments. Co-founders Michael Potts and Rick Cicigoi are formally trained under Fu-Tung Cheng and Rick is an artist by trade. Michael and Rick collaborate with architects and interior designers on ideas that will add to the character and individuality of each final product. Together many unique techniques can be incorporated into a countertop, reception desk, conference table& etc. such as curves and angles, customize color or sprinkling sparkle with aggregates or glass chips - even fiber-optic lighting. Integrating built-ins: sinks, drain boards, soap dishes and trivets are all easily molded into concrete pieces for seamless functionality for the kitchen, bar area, bath, outdoor space...etc.
Designers in quest of an artistic, one-of-a-kind concrete piece that transcends the commonplace, IDEAL SURFACE is your answer! Please contact us for a complimentary consultation, sign up for our quarterly newsletter or join us at our next event. We look forward to meeting you and learning about your next project! |
