The material consists of crushed eggshells and has a grainy, matte finish. The light coloring and irregular structure create a natural, plant-like appearance. With its rough texture and organic look, our material has an earthy feel and resembles surfaces found in nature.

Eggshells are a by product from food production and will be considered waste. In order to gain the material they were cleaned and milled into smaller peaces. The climbing holds were pressed into shape by adding a binding agent and are immedialy ready for use immediately after hardening, without any postprocessing like coating.

The design of the product was directly inspired by the properties of the material. Its rough surface and high stability and resilience suggested an application where grip and resistance are crucial. That is why climbing holds were chosen. The material is particularly well suited for this purpose as it is functional even without an additional coating. At the same time, it represents a sustainable alternative to conventional climbing holds made of synthetic resin, which release microplastics when abraded and are not recyclable.
