the making of: concrete rings by 22 design studio

another batch of the ‘concrete rings’ designed by 22 design studio are for sale on the designboom shop. 22 design studio also sent us a few behind the scene snapshots of how their rings are made.

the cement and water are precisely mixed together

the metal ring part is place in the mould before the cement is added

the cement is inserted and tapped to remove air pockets

the cement is left to set for 2 days

then the ring is sanded clean and the metal is polished

the ring is then kept wet for 20 days
