En Concreto is a Mexican workshop that has been designing and handcrafting objects out of concrete since setting up shop in 2014. They started out making flower pots, but over time have significantly expanded the reach of their business and the range of their products. They currently offer a wide variety of pieces, from decorative accessories to both interior and urban furniture.

Their work highlights the often-overlooked potential of concrete and the timeless designs that can enhance any space with a touch of originality. As creators of decorative objects and urban furniture, they actively promote the bond between their products and nature since the two can exist in perfect harmony in public spaces.

Mother-daughter duo María Alexandra and María Camila–professional interior designers with a passion for handicrafts–are the founders of their own design studio and decorative objects brand La María Living. The two generations join forces and feed off each other’s creativity to bring objects to life, giving them a highly pleasing esthetic without forgoing functionality and everyday uses.

Inspired by macrotrends, they play with color, textures and artisan techniques to carefully craft their concrete products. Through this process they create their own worldview and express it through unique, timeless designs where concrete, thanks to its characteristics, is often the primary material used.
