The philosophy of
flowing elegance.

Nagare® is an innovative line of retaining walls from Cobefa. What was once purely functional becomes a fusion of elegance and durability with Nagare, inspired by Japanese culture.

In Japanese, ‘nagare’ means both flowing and stream – a perfect description of our curved concrete retaining walls. Like a never-ending stream, Nagare® flows seamlessly through the landscape, radiating harmony and tranquillity in every last characteristic.

An ode to rolling
green landscapes

The Nagare® product line is inspired by the streamlined forms of Japanese rice fields, where relief and elevation changes blend harmoniously. These iconic, green, rolling landscapes embody the balance between nature and humanity, exuding a timeless beauty that serves as the foundation for Nagare®'s flowing lines and shapes.

Retaining walls are designed to enhance the visual character of a project. While aesthetics are often shaped by personal preferences and cultural influences, objective principles such as proportion and composition also play a crucial role in creating a well-balanced design.t.

The flowing art
of calligraphy

The lines of Nagare® are inspired by the elegance of Japanese calligraphy, or shodō, an ancient art form that elevates written characters into visual and spiritual expression. Shodō is more than writing; it is a graceful dance of brush and ink, where every stroke conveys balance and continuity.

Deeply rooted in Japanese culture and philosophy, this art form blends precision with spontaneity. Just like shodō, Nagare® unites fluid shapes with refined aesthetics, resulting in designs that are both functional and inspiring.
