Material Matters

Material Matters 2022 is an exciting new fixture on the London design calendar. Based on the critically acclaimed podcast of the same name, the fair brings together over 40 world-leading brands, designers, makers and organisations to celebrate the importance of materials and their ability to shape our lives. Exhibitors include QEST Leathersellers’ Company Scholar Candice Lau.

The fair features five floors of exhibitions, site-specific installations, a marketplace, learning space and an extensive talks programme, providing a new platform for engagement, collaboration and inspiration for the design and architecture industries. Among other things, Material Matters investigates how the design industry can address issues around the circular economy: asking how it can lead the drive to Net Zero, and why material intelligence is so important to all our lives?
