Owner/designer Grey Hensey began working with sand casting while a student at Auburn University. Required to use the technique for a school project, he immediately fell in love with concrete as a material and began exploring the abilities and pushing the boundaries of the medium. During a subsequent internship, Grey was inspired to pursue his future passion by an executive who saw concrete knobs as an entirely unique niche. After several years in mass-market furniture design, Grey decided to follow his yearning to create products that he could believe in. The result is his company, Kast Concrete Knobs.
