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.
