Ernő Goldfinger: Brutalist Models and Architectural Artworks

About Ernő Goldfinger

 
Ernő Goldfinger was a Hungarian-born architect whose work helped define the Brutalist movement in postwar Britain. Known for his bold structural clarity and social housing ideals, Goldfinger designed some of the UK’s most iconic concrete buildings including Trellick Tower, Balfron Tower, Glenkerry House, and Alexander Fleming House. His architecture was unapologetically monumental, often controversial, and always deeply intentional.

My work pays tribute to Goldfinger’s legacy through small-scale concrete models and design objects that celebrate his sculptural forms. Whether you’re a collector, an architect, or someone who simply admires the beauty of raw concrete, these pieces honour one of Brutalism’s most enduring figures.

About Spaceplay’s Brutalist Models and Designs

Every piece I make starts with a real building that is studied, drawn, and transformed into a work you can hold, display, or share as a gift. My collections include miniature concrete models, layered wood reliefs, and black-and-white risograph prints, all inspired by the forms, textures, and details of Brutalist and modernist architecture from the UK and around the world.

Each model is hand-cast in small batches using custom moulds that I make, with designs based on iconic landmarks, social housing estates, tower blocks, and civic buildings. From Trellick Tower and the National Theatre to Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate, Centre Point, and the Barbican Centre, these pieces pay tribute to some of the most recognisable and celebrated examples of postwar concrete architecture.

Whether you’re searching for architectural gifts, Brutalist home décor, or a collectible sculpture that connects to a personal memory, these collections are designed for architects, designers, students, collectors, and anyone drawn to the bold geometry and raw materiality of Brutalism.
