OUR PASSION
As an interior designer and sculptor, Walter Wendel not only has a factual affinity for concrete. The enormous mechanical resilience and the countless design possibilities are just two aspects that inspire the designer about this material.
It is the special sensual qualities that make concrete so appealing: soft to the touch and pleasantly smooth and warm – a real pleasure to hold. Visually with a minimal structure and color reminiscent of natural stone.
The result is concrete kitchens, lounge furniture and bathroom objects with architectural expressiveness and impressive dimensions. Concrete objects by walter wendel fit seamlessly into modern architecture or set a conscious counterpoint to old building fabric.

Concrete is not strictly homogeneous in colour. It ages gracefully, vibrantly and uniquely. We produce your object in such a way that you can enjoy it for a lifetime. The coatings we use each have a different focus in their protective function. However, they do not prevent age-related or weather-related changes.
At the Object furnishing speak the Strengths of the concrete robust and resistant, hygienic and food-safe, weatherproof and, due to its own weight, theft-proof.
