About BETON

”We are inspired by the greyscale vibe that arises in places conditioned by misinterpreted modernism. The beton blocks of flats are supposed to be the embodiment of Le Corbusier ideals. Instead, they are a relic of the era of absurdity. It is beton that constraints wishes, dreams and goals, that inhibits human interactions and provokes agression. On the other hand, beton is where urban culture becomes a form of expression and escape, a loud response of the young. We allow this unique historic substance to sink into our bodies, transforming ourselves into a broad landscape of emotions.”
