Customise decorative concrete façades Graphic Concrete® - exclusively distributed in France by CHRYSO - enables durable patterns and images to be produced on prefabricated concrete surfaces such as facades, walls and pavement slabs. Graphic Concrete® is a patented technology invented by interior architect Samuli Naamanka. The inspiration was to create a real industrial product for large-scale surfaces, a tool with which architects could be more visually creative.


Graphic Concrete® has been working around the world with projects ranging from industrial buildings to fine art. Today the Graphic Concrete® technology is a proven concept within the prefabrication concrete industry. An extensive number of reference buildings demonstrates the vast range of building designs in which Graphic Concrete® can be used. Our goal is to enable architects and designers to turn their visions into reality. The products can be tailored, and the outcome of each project is unique.


Graphic Concrete® – the product Graphic Concrete®’s end product is a membrane used in the prefabrication process of concrete. The desired image is printed on the membrane with a surface retarder, after which the membrane is sent to the local concrete prefabrication company. Concrete is cast on the membrane and when the retarder is washed away the image is revealed. The image results from the contrast between the fair face and the exposed aggregate surface.


Changing the aggregate and/or cement colour offers a vast amount of variations in the outcome.


Being a standardised part of the prefabrication industry, Graphic Concrete® is easy to use. The cost effectiveness is obvious: the surface is ready as such and needs no more cladding.


Different offers Either choose from the standard pattern catalogue, or create your own design to be transferred onto concrete, to create the most design concrete façades.
