Self production



2023


    Brick is an ancestral material and construction principle which, for centuries, has remained almost unchanged. Over time, more technical bricks have appeared: reliefs or openings allow for weight savings, better grip for masons and/or better adhesion of the mortar. These holes also allow the brickworks to differentiate their production from the others. Thus, the Belgian 3-hole brick was the starting point for this collection.
    This raw element manufactured in very large series is mixed with 3D printing which makes it possible to obtain adaptability to the diameters of the holes. Thus, from a 3-hole brick which acts as a base, a foundation, a printed graft
made of PLA (corn starch-based plastic) adds a function to the brick, inviting it, in fact, inside the house.
