Luxury, craftsmanship, respect and traditions are among others synonymous of leather. Centuries of techniques and experiences have conveyed to this material its pride and dignity. Yet, with industrialisation, leather didn’t escape the metamorphos

The Materialists are a team of talented creatives whom through their projects, question and challenge the potentials of materials by playing with techniques, crafts and processes. We aim to find new and innovative ways to apply their findings in order to communicate their stories through the characteristics of materials, contributing in this way to fields going from crafts to industry.
The Materialists organise, curate and design shows around the theme of a specific material to show how designers challenge and reveal the potential of a same material. Our aim is not only to make things happen, but also to communicate about it and to share the possibilities that exist. Through this, it allows to widen the knowledge circle and the spreading of new ideas on how to deal with materiality, hence finding new solutions and ideas.
