“Trueform’s mastery of form-making gave this project its wings,” says Lewis. “What began as a drawing evolved into a dialogue, one where every curve was negotiated between intention and material behavior.” A L I V I N G T H R E S H O L D At the Art of the Home Showhouse, the Outward variation of Wabele was featured as a centerpiece, framing the hearth in fluid arcs, soft shadows, and dimensional ledges. Installed in modular segments, the surround transformed the fireplace into a sculpture. The room’s wood baseboards, rich-toned wood furniture, and natural light didn’t compete, they danced alongside it. Here, the fireplace held the narrative. It became a living threshold, between heat and space, body and architecture, past and future. A C O L L A B O R A T I O N R O O T E D I N M E A N I N G The Wabele collection exemplifies what happens when material meets meaning, and craft meets cultural memory. It speaks not only to design aesthetics, but to the lineage of space-making, where contemporary form honors ancestral spirit. For Lewis, Wabele is a vessel for legacy: “This is more than just a fireplace design. It’s a sculptural reflection of presence, of who we are, where we come from, and what architecture can feel like when it becomes emotionally resonant.” And for Trueform Concrete, the collaboration signals a deeper expansion into sculptural, artistic forms, a territory where performance and poetry coexist. “We don’t just cast concrete,” says co-founder Paul Grech. “We craft spatial expressions. Wabele reflects what’s possible when designers and makers dream together.” W H E R E T O S P E C I F Y The Wabele collection is available exclusively through Trueform Concrete, with custom orders available in eight artisan-mixed colors and three signature textures. Each piece is made to order, enabling seamless specification for both residential and boutique commercial projects.
