Architectural fragments for living.

Fifteen objects. Seven families. One continuous line of concrete.

The premise


For four thousand years concrete has taken the shape of the box it was poured into. We removed the box. What remains is a nozzle, a line, and a decision made ten thousand times a minute.

Every object here is one line, laid down until it becomes furniture.

The layer line is the finish. Read from a metre away, every layer, every curve, every join.
The layer line is the finish. Read from a metre away, every layer, every curve, every join.

Furniture is the smallest thing we make, and the most exacting.

We begin with the idea that the way we build must evolve. Construction here is no longer bound by moulds, manual repetition, or conventional limits. It is written in code, shaped through precision, and brought to life layer by layer in 3D printed concrete. At this scale the material is read from a metre away, and every layer, every curve, every join is the finish.

The brief

Section 01

Outdoor seaters

Seats that weather like landscape. Continuous printed walls, zero fixings, rated for monsoon. Objects you set down once and keep for a generation.

X-Loop Seater
01 · Outdoor seaters
X-Loop Seater
An X-section spine carrying a single continuous seat. Backless and low, it reads as landscape rather than furniture, and needs no fixing to the ground.
1500 × 450 × 450 mm600 kg
Sinuous Seater
01 · Outdoor seaters
Sinuous Seater
The wave carried upward: from the front a bench, from behind a low wall. Heaviest of the family, and the one that best holds a corner.
1200 × 600 × 750 mm650 kg
Sinuous Seater with Back
01 · Outdoor seaters
Sinuous Seater with Back
The long version, with the ribbon lifted into a backrest. The seat is carried on the same continuous wall, so nothing is fixed on and nothing can work loose.
1500 × 600 × 900 mm650 kg

Section 02

Lounger chair

Wave Lounge Chair

Printed in a single continuous path from foot to headrest. At 340 kg it is the lightest large piece in the collection: the loop carries the load, so the walls stay thin.

Section 03

Planters

Three plans, one footprint. Where the wall is pinched, bellied or lobed, the print shows it.

Cinch Planter
03 · Planters
Cinch Planter
A squared plan drawn inward at four points. Where the wall is pinched the layers gather and crease, so the print reads as gathered cloth rather than as a pot.
275 × 275 × 600 mm76 kg
Bellow Planter
03 · Planters
Bellow Planter
Two bellies with a waist between them. The wall leaves the vertical and comes back to it twice, which is the whole difficulty of printing it.
275 × 275 × 600 mm82 kg
Clove Planter
03 · Planters
Clove Planter
Four soft lobes turning a square into a rounded cross. The ribbing stays even the whole way up, so from a distance it reads as a plain cylinder and only resolves up close.
275 × 275 × 600 mm86 kg

Or draw your own.

Set the section, the profile and the height in our Planter Studio tool and we print exactly that: no mould, no minimum, no tooling cost. The three planters on this page each began as a set of sliders.

Between the sections · how they are made


Hands on the work, you feel a product like nothing else. That is where the right iterations come from, and the best thing someone can live with.

The list came first. Seven families, decided on paper before a single form.

Section 04

Indoor coffee tables

The texture of architecture brought inside: printed spines under low-iron glass.

Ripple Coffee Table
04 · Coffee tables
Ripple Coffee Table
The long one. A printed spine carries a kidney of low-iron glass, set on silicone pads so the two materials never grind. Tall enough to work at from a low sofa.

Pebble Coffee Table
04 · Coffee tables
Pebble Coffee Table
An oval of glass set slightly proud of the base, so the concrete appears to float a few millimetres below the surface. The base turns through an S in plan, which is what lets 34 kg hold a 600 mm top steady.
Ø 600 mm top34 kg base
Arch Coffee Table
04 · Coffee tables
Arch Coffee Table
Three tapered piers, cut off square at the top, with an arch springing between each pair. A round top sits on the flat, so the table is read entirely through the voids underneath it.

Section 05

Indoor side tables

Ribbons folded into shelves. Glyphs stood upright.

Kanji Side Table
05 · Side tables
Kanji Side Table
Drawn from a Japanese character and stood upright, so the strokes become legs and the counter becomes a shelf. The niche in the middle is the negative space of the glyph, left open.

Meander Table
05 · Side tables
Meander Table
A single ribbon folded back on itself three times, so each turn becomes a shelf and the whole table is one unbroken line. At 30 kg, it is the lightest thing we print.

Pigment goes into the mix, not onto the surface, so a chip is the same colour as the face. Chrome Yellow and Terracotta at no surcharge.

Section 06

Indoor lamps

Coral Pearl Lamp

Set down alone, it reads as a shell someone carried in from a beach and forgot to take out again. One rippling wall printed in a single spiral, opening at the top like a shell. The source sits low and out of sight. What you see is the light warming the inner face, never the lamp itself.

Section 07

Outdoor bollard lamps

Light, carried in stone. Columns that read as a single seam of light, delivered with the light already in them.

Portal Bollard
07 · Bollards
Portal Bollard
One small arch cut near the top. The light sits behind it and rakes sideways across the printed ridges, so what the eye picks up at night is the texture of the concrete rather than the lamp. Light fitted before it leaves the works.

Seam Bollard
07 · Bollards
Seam Bollard
A tapered column opened along one edge, so the light reads as a single line from base to top rather than as a fitting. Drawn to stand with the curved pieces in this collection, and delivered with the light already in it.

Tell us the shape. We will print it.

The decisions underneath.

01 · Range
Seven families before any form.
The list fixed what a home lacks in concrete and what one arm can print.
02 · Footprint
All three planters share 275 × 275 × 600.
One crate, one pallet position. Variety lives in the wall, not the box.
03 · Structure
The loop carries the load.
Closed continuous walls do the work, so a 1.2 m lounger prints at 340 kg.
04 · Light
Fitted before it leaves.
No electrician, no alignment, nothing to work loose on site.
05 · Colour
Pigment in the mix.
Two pigmented finishes at no surcharge, because the colour is a material.
06 · Openness
Or draw your own.
Three of the fifteen began as sliders. The catalogue is a start, not a boundary.
