Headquartered in New York with libraries in Bangkok, Cologne, and Milan, our materials library is an extraordinary resource for inspiration and innovation.
We are a resource for all disciplines of design development, including:
- architecture
- interior design
- packaging design
- retail design
- fashion, apparel & footwear
- exhibition design
- textile design
- landscape architecture
- transportation design
Our libraries feature over 4,500 cutting-edge materials in eight categories, including the largest selection of sustainable materials and the only Cradle to Cradle materials library in the world:
- polymers
- cement-based materials
- glass
- metals
- ceramics
- natural materials
- carbon-based materials
- processes
Materials are chosen through a strict review process. Between 50 and 60 new materials are independently juried into the library every month.
Physical material samples are available at our on-site material library. Unlimited access to material information is available in an easily searchable online database. Each material includes images, technical specifications, and information for sourcing material samples.
