- FUR concrete wall tileFUR is a concrete wall tile that is designed to invite to be touched. Inspired by the fur of animals, it can create a soft looking and seamless surface both indoors and outdoors. The material is available in standard single colours white, black, pink, beige, dark blue and grey, but can also be custom coloured. The tiles are also available in double colour, decorated with playful splashes of a second colour.
- Concrete skin vintageInspired by the Japanese aesthetic concept of wabi-sabi a surface was developed that reflects the true nature of the materials based on the concept of “refined nature”. The lively surface of the panels' characteristic of concrete is restored using an interplay of shades and cloud effects. The natural imperfection and visual irregularity gives the façade a unique appearance, as no slab is like another.
- First on-site 3D printed house made of concrete erected in Russia3D printing is the future, as it creates the possibility to design objects individually, yet save on building materials, which is also a plus…
- Phosphorus in ConcreteBy mixing phosphorus particles with the cement during the production process of concrete, a very special effect can be created. Once hardened and lit by enough daylight during the day, the phosphorus particles give light during the night.

- Eco X extreme concreteExtremeconcrete is the physical embodiment of years of passion and research. Fiber-reinforced for strength, and mixed from the finest materials, extremeconcrete reveals the versatility and beauty of concrete.
- Concrete & GlassThis material is a polyester concrete with a surface of glass grains. Size of the grain is between 8 and 15mm. The use of glass makes the material extremely shiny. Because of the rather big grains, the surface is very rough and might be very brutal for your skin!
- 3D Printed ConcreteThis innovative 3D concrete printing technology is a digitally driven construction system that merges advanced material science with innovative fabrication to produce high-performance, low-waste architectural components and landscape products and furniture. The material is formulated to meet strict rheological requirements for layer-by-layer printing.

- 850°C Ash concreteWaste is burned in incinerators at 850 degrees Celsius (1560 degrees Fahrenheit). What remains at the bottom of the incinerator are chunks of unburned material and ashes, called bottom ash. Dutch designer Carmen Reus discovered this ash can be added in terrazzo. The surfaces give an impression of the things that we throw away and show the remnants of our throw-away society.
