Gecko Polished Concrete is stepping into a new era this year at FutureScape. Andy and the team are arriving with something they’ve been quietly shaping behind the scenes for a long time: Vitae Foris, a new brand and a collection of premium outdoor concrete furniture. If you’ve followed Gecko’s work over the years, you’ll know this has been a long time coming. Since 2017, Andy has been crafting bespoke polished concrete pieces for gardens across the UK— from one‑off fire bowls, sculptural tables, outdoor kitchens to commercial curved concrete seating. Now, for the first time, that experience has been distilled into a considered, ready‑to‑choose range. 

The collection includes fire bowls with premium remote controlled gas burner units, an outdoor fireplace, dining and coffee tables, and a fully integrated outdoor kitchen with premium BBQ and appliances  —all designed, manufactured and hand‑finished in the Cotswolds workshop. It’s the natural evolution of years spent working closely with designers, landscapers and homeowners, understanding what actually works outdoors and what people genuinely want to live with. The result is a range built on high‑quality materials, honest design and the kind of durability that doesn’t shout about itself but quietly proves its worth year after year. 

Every piece is made using an ultra‑high‑performance concrete blend developed specifically for strength, consistency and a beautifully refined finish and while Vitae Foris gives customers a clear set of ready‑made options, Gecko’s bespoke service isn’t going anywhere—it remains a core part of the studio’s identity. 

At FutureScape, visitors will be able to get hands‑on with the new pieces. There’s something about seeing polished concrete in person—the texture, the weight, the way light moves across the surface—that simply doesn’t translate in photos. Alongside the furniture, the team will be bringing their full range of colour and finish samples, making it easy to compare tones and textures. And Andy and the team will be there to offer straightforward, practical advice on installation, maintenance and custom possibilities, whether you’re planning a small courtyard refresh or a large commercial landscape. 

Concrete has earned its place outdoors for good reason. It’s strong, stable and naturally suited to the British climate. Gecko’s blend is engineered for UV stability, frost resistance, low maintenance and consistent colour, giving it a quiet confidence that works beautifully in both modern and traditional settings. It pairs effortlessly with timber, planting, stone and metal—never competing, always complementing. 

Everything is made by hand in the Cotswolds workshop, where the team handles every stage of the process: design, mould making, casting, polishing, sealing and delivery. That hands‑on approach is what allows them to obsess over the details—the crispness of an edge, the softness of a radius, the feel of the surface under your hand. These are the things that turn a piece of furniture into something people genuinely enjoy living with. 

FutureScape marks an exciting moment for Gecko Polished Concrete. Whether you’ve collaborated with them before or you’re discovering their work for the first time, the team is looking forward to welcoming you at their stand, showing you what they’ve been creating and exploring how the new Vitae Foris range can elevate your upcoming projects.
