Art Concrete
There’s a lot of Sovietica to trip out on in Kaliningrad. Something that does it for me are the iron and concrete roadsigns.
Make no mistake. This is art and not to be confused in any way with functional industrial design. For a start, the signs are neither illuminated nor reflective and they only work from one approaching direction. So if you can’t read cyrillic backwards in the dark, you’ll be none the wiser. Unless of course you happen to drive smack into one.
It’s a big concept.

I need to say that this was a really informative article! I have been doing concrete floor finishes for quite some time, but I learned a couple of things!
I am really not too familiar with this topic but I do like to visit blogs for layout ideas and interesting topics. You really expanded upon a subject that I usually don’t care much about and made it very interesting. This is a memorable blog that I will take note of. I already bookmarked it for future reference. Have a great day
