Since founding Concr3de in 2016, architects Eric Geboers and Matteo Baldassari have been pioneering innovative approaches to architecture and design using custom-built inkjet 3D printing technology. Their process involves printing with repurposed stone powder, a byproduct of the stone industry, which offers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional materials.
This sustainable technique eliminates the need for glues, resins, or plastics, resulting in a novel form of bio-concrete. One of the standout outcomes of their method is the Coral lights—a collection of lighting designs crafted with remarkable precision using this advanced 3D printing process. Each lamp body is formed entirely from recycled stone powder, showcasing both the aesthetic potential and environmental benefits of this cutting-edge technology.
