pg-75_edited.jpg

It was 2016 - a rainy day in Zurich when it all began. On a construction site, between mud and concrete, I stood Anes and built my first formwork. It wasn't anything big, just a simple form for a bedside table. But in that moment, when the truck mixer arrived and the concrete flowed into the formwork, I felt that something special had been created.

This small concrete bedside table was not just a piece of furniture, it was the beginning of a journey. A journey that began with a passion for design, attention to detail and a fascination for the material concrete. My garden house soon became a "concrete oasis", a place where ideas were born and realized. Works of art were created, each piece unique, handmade and created with a lot of passion.

Soon after, my small workshop in the garden became a concrete oasis, a place where ideas were born and brought to life. Every piece I created there carried the memory of that one rainy day - and the certainty that something small can become something big.

time travel

Today, 8 years later, Anes with pierre grise ®   as a symbol of this journey. The bedside table of the past has become large concrete works, each one created with love and precision. But one thing has not changed: the passion that was born in the rain lives on in each of our projects. Because it is this connection to our roots, to the moments when we get our hands dirty, that defines pierre grise ® . And every time we pour concrete, we feel the same excitement as on that rainy day in 2016.

the baptism of Pierre Grise

The name itself is a poetic play on words from French: "la pierre" - the stone, a symbol of strength and permanence, and "grise" - grey, the colour of silence and gentle melancholy. Together they become "grey stone", a tribute to the subtle, the timeless and the imperishable. And pierre grise ®   is more than just a name. It is a promise. A promise to preserve the original, to honor the essence of the materials and to create something new and timeless from them. Every piece that comes out of the factory bears the traces of craftsmanship, the patina of thought and the warmth of touch. Here, things are not simply produced; they are created with a dedication that makes the stone speak and lets the gray shine in all its nuances.
