PULKRA

Pulkra was born from love for concrete, is based in Italy and is dedicated to the pursuit of beauty. Informed by a futuristic and bold aesthetic, the collection is designed by talented emerging designers and artists with a subversive and revolutionary approach, building a layered universe full of references and details, blending with every architecture.

Pulkra aims to develop a complete experience, linking objects and sensations, materials and feelings. Pulkra products are timeless and conscious, limited in a precise number of editions. Pulkra inhabits spaces with coherence and character. Essential lines, innovative materials and significant details.

Through pioneering research in chemistry, Pulkra offers sophisticated, refined, minimalist, never mundane concrete products: the research for the best balance of shapes and proportions for a scenographic effect. Pulkra respects concrete in its honesty, avoiding opulent finishes and enhancing its imperfections. With constant research and an innovative approach to design, Pulkra makes concrete elegant and contemporary.

PULKRA

Concrete is a familiar material, known and used for centuries, yet more versatile and eclectic than we may realize. Through intensive research, Pulkra has crafted a CFRC composite concrete as strong as it is lightweight: its name is ACRON®. Enriched with polymers and a fine marble sand, ACRON® is exceptionally resistant, flexible, and attractive, allowing for infinite new possibilities. With ACRON®, Pulkra has elevated concrete to its most sincere and beautiful form.

Pulkra was conceived as a mean to connect art, architecture and production, with the final goal to allow designers investigate further in the field of possibilities and give a futuristic face to one the most ancient materials in history, concrete. The know-how in chemistry and in industrial processes led Pulkra to uncompromising standards and remarkable attention to detail. The company is committed to combining innovative aesthetics with a focus on ensuring responsible production processes. Pulkra is also working on a Take Back program for its products to conclude the lifecycle.

To ensure the highest quality of production the molds used to cast our CFRC cement, called ACRON®, have a limited lifetime by choice, both to keep ongoing research alive and because we believe in continuous change.
Each mold is designed and engineered by Pulkra to last a precise cycle of casts, then the molds have to be discarded and remade. This principle led us to numerate every product with a code, that identifies the design, the year and the serial number, in a descending count, because the more the mold is used, the more the number of products that can still be made with it decreases. Product number 1 will be the last of its series.
