I’ve been friends with Brandon Gore for a while now but haven’t made it down to his space/workshop/laboratory/concrete kitchen until NOW…
Located in Tempe, AZ I headed on over to check out
Brandon Gore aka Gore Design Co + his publication Concrete Cartel….

You might be wondering “Concrete, really like streets & planters or whatever, like cement?”
Take a look at the Gore Design Co. website and you’ll have a better understanding of what Brandon and his team can do with the material that is concrete but also he’s into sustainable building or “green” if that’s the buzz word you like as well…

Go ahead and look up the term “Rammed Earth” (I already did it for you HERE) this is something that Gore Design Co will be venturing into sooner than later…

You can quote me Brandon Gore & Gore Design Co will be the next Eames, Frank Lloyd Wright and so on just with more tattoos…

I couldn’t take pics of the workspace as he had some projects that he was working on that he didn’t want leaked…

This is the Gore Design conference table and it’s all concrete top created using fabric form… Pretty solid right? literally & figuratively….

This side table is FOR SALE right now, contact Brandon for purchase and tell him I sent you he might extend a discount ;)…
Again concrete utilizing fabric-forming…

This is Brandon on the left and his right hand man Jason…
Check out their sick desk!

Concrete Cartel is their publication that Brandon publishes, the magazine has a more rock & roll and artistic approach to concrete and the industry by comparison to the other industry magazines…
He has other artisans, fabricators and industry “who’s whos” contribute and write articles…
Find out more about Concrete Cartel, great read and interesting articles about the craft even one article paralleling beer making to concrete work…. BOOM!

Brandon and Gore Design Co has some serious tricks up his tattooed sleeve, he has big plans and agenda for the company for long term plus building a brand, building responsibly and creatively…

The workspace…
Some atmosphere shots I could take that wouldn’t leak projects…

Here’s a snap of ‘The Knotty Stool’ concrete again…
These are for sale as well, priced at $595 each and come in a few colors…

A Gore Design Co. project and design that they’ve got a lot of notoriety on is what’s called the ‘Erosion sink’ seen below… Really unique & well designed, do you agree?

Here’s another Gore Design Co sink…

I can honestly see Brandon & Gore Design Co design a phenomenal and well designed either residential project, a retail space for numerous brands and/or being commissioned for some cool one off projects… Get involved because eventually he’s going to be a VERY sought after designer like, REAL soon…

Thanks Brandon, Jason & Gore Design Co for your time. I leave you Brandon with a gift of course a Incipio X Alpinestars iPhone4 case…

Please take a look at Gore Design Co website & Concrete Cartel for more info…
For those that know me I have a few extra copies of Concrete Cartel for a good read, I might just hook a few of ya up…
