    Yes, you're right ,but it's a "Drkshdw" furniture ,so the place is a bit forgiveable.

    would you happen to have any more info on the cement coating, product name etc? I've been looking for something like this but so far no luck...
    Thank you. The coating is a result of 3 different materials from "durostick" (greek company) .I'll try to describe it with my poor English next week.

    "Prolat" (check their work) is another greek company which is specialized in architectural cement coating and in my opinion has better materials ,more expensive though.Don't know if they export their stuff ,which are 100% produced in Greece,it's better to contact with them.About a month ago ,i met in person the owner of the company,really nice guy.

      This do look pretty amazing. Not sure how easy it would be to find the exact same materials you used here. I imagine you live in Greece?

        Yes.They do the original thing,they have pretty good materials.I've done some research when i was rebuilding my appartment and i passed the idea of making a part of my floor with cement coating ,since these products are brand new and the cheap ones not so durable.There are many companies producing different versions of cement coating.Another one is resin.gr ,but i guess there are many companies all over the world ,not only Greece.
        So, i sketched some sofas , but the second attempt will might be a Rick chair.Will provide details and pictures after receiving the black mattress ,in about two weeks from now.

          I've actually been trying to search for cement-like coatings for years but haven't found anything to my liking here in northern Europe. I tried some sort of clay based effect paint/coating but it left this sort of sandy surface. textured multitoned paint looked kind of fake and very hard to get the right look. The closest thing I found was a company importing some Italian limestone or chalk based plasters, which I think looked pretty closed to the product used here. I'll probably give this a try on one of our walls soon. I think this is the same stuff they were selling, this is some random australian site that popped up in Google but the name is familiar.

              Note that the final look is 100% the result of the workmanship ,not only the material.The person who will install the coating can make different patterns with the same materials . It needs fast moves while placing the cement.

              You should ask directions from an architectural office .I'm sure you can find something .Paper on walls is used lately as well.Check Pietboon and NLXL,it's easier,more fun,will last forever,but it's pretty expensive.
