ShapeCrete™ received the award for Best Design Material at the 10th Annual Dwell on Design exhibition in Los Angeles, California. The concrete mix is the product of a collaboration between designer in concrete Fu-Tung Cheng and SAKRETE®.

A panel of jurors representing the design community visited more than 450 booths during the 3-day design event. ShapeCrete was selected the winner of the Best Design Material for its innovation, versatility and ease of use, and was presented the award at a ceremony honouring the winners in Los Angeles.

ShapeCrete can be poured, rolled, pushed, moulded, textured or polished into a wide range of custom concrete designs. As a durable, professional-grade concrete product, ShapeCrete allows users to push their creative potential through concrete designs that require no oven-baking or kiln-firing.
