Beske Brothers
Even when we were young, we, Jens and Malte, loved creating new things in the workshop. This love of craftsmanship, of creating something new by skilfully combining different materials, still exists today!
We quickly won over our first customers with our first invention – Betonfeuer – the concrete fire.
« In 2016, we fulfilled a dream.
The Beske manufactory was born. »
History
Beske-Manufaktur – that’s us: the brothers Jens and Malte, together with our fantastic team. Even when we were little, we spent a lot of our free time in a workshop somewhere. Armed with tools (mostly a hammer and nails) – but not necessarily the required qualifications – everything within reach was somehow “used”.
The result wasn’t always perfect, but we always had a smile on our faces. How about today? Of course, the results are no longer comparable to those of childhood, but the fun of working with concrete and the love of the craft have remained! In 2016, we decided to make this smile on our faces permanent, to “concretise and cement” it in a certain way. The Beske-Manufaktur was born.
In the meantime, we no longer use every material we can get our hands on, but instead concentrate on concrete, steel and wood.
Numerous experiments in the production process and the composition of our concrete, as well as the ongoing development of personal skills, are reflected today in the quality of our concrete fires.
We hope that you can feel the passion that goes into our products and experience wonderful Beske moments with your favourite pieces!
Betonfeuer®
Betonfeuer are the product from our manufactory. The family came up with the idea, the first experiments and today’s products. The idea of the campfire 2.0 was constantly developed further. Thanks to optimisation, customer feedback and other factors, we now offer 10 different versions. These are adapted to suit different tastes as well as the various conditions in the home garden, on a small city balcony or a wildly romantic terrace. Depending on their size, round and square concrete fires are designed for different uses and preferences.
You will find information on this under the concrete fires.
Idea
We came up with the idea of concrete fires when we were looking for a solution for using leftover wax. As candles do not burn down completely, there is wax left over which remains unused.
With the concrete fire, they can be easily recycled and create a cosy ambience at the same time. The specially developed permanent wick produces a particularly high flame that is similar to a campfire.
“Rediscover the campfire” is the motto behind our invention. You got it right – we developed and realised the product 100 % ourselves – and are very proud of “our concrete fire – the original Betonfeuer®”.
With its clear geometric shapes and purist grey concrete, the concrete fire fits into any environment and creates timelessly elegant accents.
Made for you
We love what we do and do our best every day to give you a Beske moment too. Each item is professionally handcrafted in our factory in Cologne. There is no product that does not pass through the hands of several team members and is checked by us as part of quality control.
We love concrete!
