Concrete Matter 3.82

Concrete Matter, the Man’s Gift Co. began as a collaborative effort between Tim, Tomas and Jacob - three young, creative guys from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Bound together by our passion for useful, durable and beautiful products, we set up a small but comprehensive online store called Concrete Matter in early 2012. Tim, an award winning graphic designer, took care of product photography and design.

Concrete Matter’s range of products includes knives, vintage globes, vintage maps, shoe care products, taxidermy, outdoor gear, cufflinks, tools, DIY kits, lithography, personal care products and a range of compelling curiosities.

Curious and adventurous as we are, we’re always looking to expand on that. If it’s one of those rare items that successfully walks the line between beauty and durability, then we’re on it.

Ultimately, that’s what we’re trying to achieve: we’ re trying to counteract a throw-away culture of anonymous mass production. Also, we believe durability and aesthetics are often a tightly knit couple.

So should you ever find yourself in Amsterdam, be sure to drop by for a coffee and a chat. There’s a good chance at least one of us is there, and at Concrete Matter we’re always excited to talk to people for inspiration.
