Nedzhmie Yusufova – Beyond Plastic: Bio-Material 3D Printing for Circular Spaces

Nedji Yusufova is a Delft-based bio-material designer working at the intersection of architecture, circular materials, and 3D printing. She develops home-compostable material recipes from local food waste, such as oyster shells and coffee grounds, and works with self-built bio-paste 3D printers that use significantly less energy than plastic printing. Her practice focuses on custom applications for architects and interior designers, including sculptural elements for public spaces, bioreceptive ceramics, seasonal shop-window installations, event objects, and bespoke interior pieces. Through material research, prototyping, and collaboration, Nedji helps designers translate circular ambitions into tangible, site-specific outcomes.
