Eric Geboers & Matteo Baldassari

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.

Coral Light

The Coral Light’s skin refers to coral reefs we find in our seas and oceans. A rather precise and new 3D printing technique is used to create the lamp’s body consisting of waste stone powders.

Waste powders like granite and marble from the stone industry are used to 3D print unique objects. The powder is mixed to load the self-made inkjet 3D printer. The printer deposits thin layers of the powder and prints an ink on top of each layer, solidifying the powder to each other. No glue, resin or plastic is used and zero waste is produced. The production method can be used to create customized design and has the ability to produce architectural objects as well. The Coral Light comes in a hang and stand model and colors can be adjusted.
