Visit · Interior fitters & furniture makers
You only really discover new materials once you know how you can make with them.
For a maker, what happens on the machine and workbench counts. Can you saw, mill, edge, drill, bend, glue, upholster and finish it? And does quality hold up in series?
From sample to workshop
MaterialDistrict brings material innovation close to everyday making practice. Not only looking at the end result, but asking questions about processing and production.
Matter of How for makers
A material only becomes sustainable when it can also be processed, repaired, dismantled and reused smartly. Making is therefore part of the material strategy.
