Materialized

The Materialized exhibition fosters new and revolutionary alternatives to plastic and other well-known polluting materials that for too long now have been the main actors of the environmental crisis. It showcases natural raw materials, biomaterials, innovative techniques, and green design. Materialized is a surprising journey through the discovery of what the industry of the future must look like. Most of the design studios and firms based at Schellens will join Dutch Design Week alongside Isola, making it a design hub under the name Something Bigger. Among them is Studio Sander Mulder, with various furniture, lighting, and interior design products from their international operating design studio; and Social Lab
