This sofa's as hard as concrete!

 

An Edinburgh man is hoping to be sitting comfy after recreating the Chesterfield sofa in concrete as garden furniture.

Steve Jones is looking to get his concrete collection on sale in garden centres by the end of the year.
He insists his concrete sofa is comfortable - and says it even comes with a 50p concrete coin stuck down the back of its cushions.
The hollow concrete couch is made by taking a mould from a genuine leather one and casting it into a single package in a week-long process.
Mr Jones, is producing the unique sofas through his Edinburgh-based company Gray Concrete, along with business partner Jon Gray, 39.
He said: "The mould making techniques pick up very very accurate detail, so every little fold in the leather is picked out, and the surface to the touch does make it feel leathery - just harder.
"There is a fun aspect to it too in making something out of the wrong material, such as creating a piece of soft furnishing out of concrete.
"We believe the sofa has commercial legs on its own - it has had a lot of positive feedback and we can see it going into a lot of gardens as an interesting piece of furniture.
"We have the potential to make 100s of them and we are thinking of selling them full time."
