Brightly colored skateable sculptures · Bordeaux

“Combining urban art, skate culture, and large-scale 3D concrete printing, these skatable sculptures transform public spaces into places for movement, interaction, and creative expression.”
About the project

Developed by 3D Concrete with Agence Côte Ouest, Léo Valls, and Brice Fauquet, this project introduced a series of 3D-printed concrete skate sculptures in Bordeaux.

The first installation included four skate elements; a bump, two transfers, and a wallie; combining skate functionality with contemporary urban design. Installed at key locations such as the Miroir d’Eau, the modules transformed public spaces into places for sport, interaction, and creativity.

Following their success, the project expanded with three new colorful sculptures: Unions, Hands, and Arrows. Designed as both artworks and skate features, these pieces showcase the potential of 3D concrete printing for innovative public-space design.

The project became part of Bordeaux’s cultural program and was highlighted during the Connect Skaturbanism Festival.
