Founded in Copenhagen in 2006, Mater
took the first pioneering steps towards crea-
ting long lasting sustainable furniture de-
sign. From the very beginning the ambition
was to change the way people think of fur-
niture, inspiring consumer’s behavior and
engaging people into sustainable thinking.
Carrying the Latin term for ‘Mother’ in our
name, we gave ourselves a daily reminder
of the very foundation we strive to protect,
and creating sustainable furniture, lighting
and accessories is our small contribution
to reducing our footprint on Mother Earth
without making any compromises with re-
gard to the design and quality. After years of
research for more sustainable ways to create
furniture, lighting and accessories we now
work with a range of production partners
with the same ambition as Mater, creating
partnerships for change and supporting the
United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals. Together we are committed to search
for new and better ways of making beauti-
ful design in a responsible way.
This is what justifies bringing new products
into the world and defines WHY we are on
the market. Our mission is clear, we want to
change the perception of what good design
is — creating a meaningful future and keep
pushing the boundaries of sustainability
and aesthetics — caring for Mother Earth
and our next generations.
