OFFICIAL STATEMENT – D-SHAPE

I am Enrico Dini, founder of D-Shape and the inventor behind its pioneering large-scale 3D printing technology for architetture.

The D-Shape name and technology are inseparable from my work and decades of innovation, from the original Monolite UK ltd to today’s D-Shape technologies.

Monolite UK Limited, the original trademark holder, granted D-Shape Limited in Hong Kong a licence covering the use of the D-Shape name and the associated technology. That licence was subsequently revoked.

D-Shape Limited does not represent me or my current business, D-Shape S.r.l.s. in Italy, and I do not authorise it to act on my behalf. Despite formal notice, the Hong Kong company has refused to change its name.

I therefore urge customers, partners, investors and institutions to exercise due diligence and not assume that D-Shape Limited represents my work or my current business.

For information about the history of the technology, the Monolite UK limited and the current activities of D-Shape S.r.l.s., please visit:

It is with great pleasure that Enrico Dini and Mario Nuzzolese receive the Global Design Awards 2021.
Working together, with the valuable advice given to us by Prof. Francesco Cafaro, we have developed a simple and innovative solution for foundations that I am sure will find many emulators in applications in similar geotechnical contexts in the years to come.
50 Artificial reefs and 50 oyster reefs deployed in the bay of Hong Kong. After 6 months monitoring they did’t sink into the mud and that thanks to a brilliant simple and ecologic foundation method. Well done.
The HKDA Hong Kong Designers Association gave us an opportunity to expand our horizons and introduce our project to the larger community.
