LUCCON TRANSLUCENT CONCRETE
http://www.luccon.com/de/
Luccon is a material developed in the early 2000s by architect and designer Juergen Frei. It’s basically made up of lasagna-like layers of concrete and fiber optics through which light can pass. However, the material is sealed and just as strong as concrete.
Available in thicknesses from 10mm to 500mm, Luccon can also vary in pattern from straight lines to wavy, depending on the dramatic effect needed. From bathrooms to stairs to bar tops and nightclub walls, it has tons of commercial and residential applications.

Architect and designer Jurgen Frei has completely revolutionised the way we see concrete. In 2004 he invented Luccon, which manages to give concrete a translucent effect. Frei developed a way to create fine layers of concrete and fibre optic waveguides so that light and colour can pass through. Once the materials are sealed, it is just as strong as standard concrete.
Luccon is available in various thicknesses from 10mm to 500mm, any colour and finishing formats. The range includes Luccon Therm for external structures and Luccon Veneer for application of furniture due to its flexible nature.
There are endless ways to apply the material in product and furniture design, residentially or commercially, from bathrooms to stairs, to bar tops and nightclub walls. Due to Luccon’s highly versatile nature, it can be used indoor or outdoor.
