Layered DJ Booth
This Barcelona nightclub got remixed in 3D printed concrete.

Aridditive, a Barcelona-based company specializing in 3D concrete, just 3D printed the full renovation of Sutton Barcelona, one of Spain’s most iconic nightclubs. The company manufactured 340 functional concrete elements off-site, including sofas, staircases, bar counters, walls, and a DJ booth, then installed them as part of a seven-week refurbishment that would have taken roughly five months using conventional methods, the company says. More proof that digital fabrication can handle high-design commercial interiors on a nightlife timeline, not a construction one.
