As children, two things we never thought we'd grow up to do: buy jeans in China, and sit in furniture made out of concrete. But "bi-coastal design and fabrication firm" Concreteworks has been striving to get us to do the latter since 1991.

Founded by architectural designer Mark Rogero, Concreteworks makes tubs and lounges out of the humble material when they're not rigging up restaurants, residences and retail spaces with their custom concreations.

To see more of their work and learn about concrete--colors, finishes, how they handle the edging, etc.--check out their site.
