Webster Concrete Chair

Curve Appeal

Don Welsh owner of eleven39.com and everydaySolutions contracting in Leucadia CA designed and created the Webster Chair, a unity of concrete, steel and teak. The design is an adult version of his wooden chair he made for his nephew. The “Webster Chair” is available in either CX Pro-Formula All-Weather mix or SureCrete D-FRC. The curved concrete combined with the stark steel creates a perfect combination for any outdoor setting.

DON: Create a chair with a simple timeless design that would have integral strength, without any rebar reinforcement. A break down of the chair’s components are a base and a back that combined elements like concrete, steel and wood.

DON: The contemporary design is graceful despite the inevitable weight of concrete and is surprisingly comfortable. The metal backing offers a slight flex which is unexpected when you settle in against it. The silhouette can be reproduced over and over and yet each piece will retain a unique quality by simply adding integral color, glass aggregate or by powder coating the metal.

DON: Drill pilot holes when drilling through concrete to avoid blow outs.

DON: CX Pro-Formula All-Weather gives the concrete a better workable characteristic which is important when pouring into intricate molds. The finish is so much more sophisticated than straight, bagged concrete, especially when poured against a laminate or other smooth surface mold.
