The Concrete Republic is owned and operated by two Geelong locals, Luke Reddie and Blake Robertson. Getting off the ground in 2016, Luke began creating furniture masterpieces from his back shed. Having more than 14 years' experience using concrete, he was familiar with the medium and became excited by its potential.
Experimenting with glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) and receiving rave reviews for his concrete benchtops, vanities and various pieces, the Concrete Republic was born.
By 2017 Blake had joined the team and brought with him extensive business expertise and drive. Having built a successful access flooring company, Blake found himself looking for a fresh project with a creative outlet and was impressed by concrete and its vast uses. Together the two men are a dynamic duo with a united goal, delivering custom furniture.
Concrete Republic creates unique pieces of furniture, homewares and tiles using concrete. Transforming the cold, stark medium into smooth, sleek homewares, the team incorporates steel and timber, giving them practicality, warmth and balance.
With a modern edge, our splashbacks, dining tables and custom garden furniture can transform a space or room, be a statement piece to your home, office or work space. The beauty of concrete is that every piece is unique and has small imperfections,* giving the pieces character and individuality.
*No piece is the same. Concrete is a difficult medium to work with and its imperfections are considered part of its charm.
