When I’m working on a project, there’s always an attempt to renew the subject I’m involved in.
LCDA is a team that develops and works with this concrete material and they decided to introduce it into the world of decoration and interior design by making lightweight, efficient and easy-to-install panels where concrete comes down to a thin film while offering radical and natural features as well as a full and minimalist design.

Beyond these elegant designs, his quest for lightness – in matters of the essence – synthesizes three broader stakes: individual and collective fulfillment, economic and industrial efficiency, and environmental concerns.
I’m trying to find an honest, generous path with the idea that, somewhere between the hard economic data, there are users. People.
His creations, whether speculative or pragmatic, explore this imperative paradigm: reconciling pleasure with responsibility, the individual with the collective.

Slats Panbeton® is an architectural concrete panel in bas-relief. Both abstract and logical, thick and vibratory, deep and light, ordered and random, Slats connects indoor spaces by creating harmonious contrast through a structural/ornamental dialogue.
Slats highlights or brings out the surface of a wall, the privacy of an alcove or the depth of a staircase with elegance and timelessness. Horizontally or vertically, the connection of panels is invisible to meet the excellence of an outstanding product.
