Surface Matter

Materials used better. We help designers and architects use surfaces to their full potential, because change shouldn't mean waste.

Surface Matter work with some of the most exciting materials out there - from sheets made of recycled paper to colourful panels that rethink plastic waste. Our design-led surfaces have sustainable qualities and can be used in everything from retail and office spaces to kitchens or skate parks. We support designers and makers by working through projects, sharing samples and information, discussing

design criteria and material suitability, supplying the actual sheet material, offering technical and fabrication information and making useful connections where we can. Our studio shows off the materials we love in action - in our desks, displays, kitchen doors and surfaces as well as prototype pieces, samples and large panels. Our love of materials drove us to curate a materials library in our studio that architects, designers, creatives and material enthusiasts are free to explore and find inspiration.

From integrated sinks to high-traffic tabletops, every surface is designed for longevity, ease of maintenance and circular thinking.
