Our materials

Big material potential

We’re obsessed with interesting materials. We sell, supply and prototype beautiful, high performance surfaces from around the world. Responsible materials made from recycled plastics, paper and textiles for sustainable projects designed with purpose.

Our partners

Designed with purpose, built for the future

We like finding people working in sustainable ways or with tricky materials that can’t easily be returned to nature – manufacturers determined to override single-use. When this happens, we bring them into the fold – collaborating with our partners to deliver quality material solutions designed to last. We carefully store and supply quality surfaces from our warehouse in Rye. You can also see our surfaces in person and talk to us about your project from our East London material studio or Material Source Manchester.
