Floating Concrete Ghost Table Wins QUIKRETE One Bag Wonder 2.0

Annual contest reveals a variety of creative project designs and techniques.

First Place Winner - Ghost Table: 'As an industrial design student, I am interested in finding new ways to use common materials. I was inspired by paper mache to rethink what concrete can do. My table is made only out of canvas soaked in a mixture of Quikrete and a cement polymer. I saturated several canvas layers and draped them over a table. When they dried I removed the inside table and was left with a new one! I was excited to make a new piece of furniture but even more excited to find a new way to look at cement and create things from it' - Joey Eddington

QUIKRETE

Joey Eddington, an industrial design student at Brigham Young University, recently won the QUIKRETE One Bag Wonder 2.0 contest with his floating concrete ghost table. Bernie Solo’s mid-century lamp and Roger Young’s outdoor fountain finished second and third, respectively, in the annual challenge to create unique, high-quality do-it-yourself projects using only one bag any QUIKRETE® concrete mix. Photos and descriptions of all the submitted projects are available at QUIKRETE® One Bag Wonder 2.0.

“The project ideas people brought to life with just one bag of QUIKRETE through this contest is truly amazing,” says Frank Owens, Vice President of Marketing for The QUIKRETE Companies. “The creativity, craftsmanship and quality of all the submissions really made selecting the winners difficult, but I think the design, technical execution and finished product of the top three helped them narrowly edge out some of the other competitors.”

 QUIKRETE One Bag Wonder 2.0 was judged by members of QUIKRETE, a manufacturer of packaged concrete, HomeMade Modern, an online resource for smart modern home furnishing ideas, and the Home Projects Council, a think tank of home improvement experts. First place received $2,500, second place received $1,500 and third place received $500.
