TRANSLUCENT CONCRETE

THE IDEALight is an original element of the universe.

It means life and is essential for every creature.

Translucent concrete combines concrete and

light. It absorbs light, passes it, it radiates

from. Massive concrete in combination

with soft light in all its colors means only

one thing: „LIFE“.

Nothing is like before – with LUCCONdesign, architects, designers

and artists experience a completely new world of creativity. Soft

light makes its way through solid concrete, creating never seen

before effects in rooms, public spaces and objects. In every form,

in every size. Speaking for itself, impressive, attention-creating

and always focussing on the source of all life: LIGHT. The merging

of cold, hard material and subtle lighting effects becomes the

latest inspiring challenge for creative minds.

THE IDEA

THE HigHLigHTS

InnovAtIvE DEsIgn optIons

Optical fibres incorporated into concrete let the stone appear

massive and transparent equally, making light, shadows

and colors visible.

InDIvIDuAl AnD unIquE

In the manufacturing process, transparency and position of

the optical fibres can be defined exactly. This allows to produce

slabs with individual customer designs and structures.

hIghEst DurAbIlIty

Due to the relatively small amount of fibres, strength

and durability of LUCCONdesign is equal to ordinary

concrete slabs.

wAtEr proof

Thanks to the use of waterproof material with low crack width,

LUCCONdesign can be installed in both outdoor and in damp

indoor environments.

frost rEsIstAnt

air pores are formed in the production of LUCCONdesign,

making an escape space for freezing water, ensuring a high

frost resistance.

THE CREATiON

LUCCONdesign is a precast concrete product. In a special process

fiber optic cables are inserted in a fine-grain concrete. Due to the

relatively low portion of fabric, the solidity and consistency of

translucent concrete is equivalent to high-strength concretes.
