Slabs By Design is more than a studio. It is the result of over a decade of innovation in architectural concrete, combining craftsmanship, material science, and modern design to create luxury concrete pieces for homes and commercial spaces across Australia.
In 2025, Jared, founder of Set In Steel, officially acquired Slabs By Design. This brought together two respected names in Australia’s architectural concrete industry.
While the brand name evolved, the craftsmanship remained the same.
For more than six years, Set In Steel has been the master manufacturer behind Slabs By Design’s collections. This partnership ensured a seamless transition of quality, passion, and technical expertise, allowing the brand to continue delivering exceptional handcrafted concrete pieces.
Jared established Set In Steel in 2016 and quickly built a reputation as a leader in high-end architectural concrete.
His deep focus on material science and structural elegance has helped transform concrete from a traditional construction material into a luxury interior design element.
SLABS by Design is the Furniture arm of the business and Set In Steel provides the higher end bespoke custom projects to our valued clients.
By bringing Slabs By Design into the Set In Steel family, Jared created a platform where homeowners and designers can access premium handcrafted concrete products including:
Designer basins and baths
Custom vanity tops
Concrete furniture
Kitchen benches
Outdoor kitchen and BBQ setups
Water troughs and outdoor seating for public spaces
