Christopher Shannon

Concrete Artisan

Meet Chris

Chris Shannon is the artisan responsible for the stunning creations at Nimble systems. All of Nimble’s creations are cast using a substance called Ductal Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) made by Lafarge.

Chris has been working with Ductal over the last 19 years and has become quite familiar with its unique properties. Christopher’s innovations are taking this material to previously unimagined areas. For example, Nimble Systems was pleased to work with Delta Faucet’s Lead Industrial Designer TJ Eads and R&D Engineer Scot Rosko to create the world’s first fully compliant and functional concrete faucet, the Brizo Vettis Faucet.

Thanks to following his passions, Chris is creating unique works of art using an interesting medium and genuinely enjoying his time doing it.

On the Brizo

"The Vettis™ Collection was born from a deep respect for nature and its strength. Now cast in concrete, the natural elements of water, stone and charcoal combine to fully realize this vision."
