Brenta is a smart urban furniture collection made of high performance concrete designed for outdoor lighting Italian manufacturer Neri. Illuminating bollards, wall mounted luminaires, benches and planters have been conceived to create a recognisable family able to furnish our surroundings in a stylish and consistent way.

Giving concrete a new shape

_______
Inspired by the unconventional use of concrete in the recent history of architecture, Brenta brings sophisticated indoor shapes to the world of outdoor lighting and furniture, complementing it with powerful optics, Wi-Fi antennas and chargers.
We designed a collection that everybody would want to have in their own living rooms; we took the interior design trends to the outdoors, exporting the same care for details, elegance and ergonomics.

Designed to live in urban environments

_______
Our cities are furnished with objects we use every day but we don’t get to choose. We filled this gap between user and specifier by designing a collection that everybody would want to have in their own living rooms; we took the interior design trends to the outdoors, exporting the same care for details, elegance and ergonomics.

Built to last

_______
The material chosen for Brenta allowed the design to break every scheme. High performance concrete doesn’t need thickness, its high mechanical strength is due to plastic fibers present within the mass, no armor needed.
Launched during Light + Building 2018 in Frankfurt, Brenta success was immediate, winning both German Design Award and Archiproducts Award.
