Mater

For every one of the million of products we use to improve the quality of our lives, there are associated environmental, ethical and social consequences. While some products have a small environmental bearing, others consume finite resources in vast quantities and are produced under conditions of labor abuse and environmental damage. As mature consumer societies are increasingly dominated by (physical) abundance; by saturation; by experiences; by virtual worlds; by individualism; by feelings of guilt and concern about the side-effects of unbridled consumption, status is to be had in many more ways than leading a somewhat dated lifestyle centered on hoarding as many branded luxury goods as possible. Mater - latin for mother - is a Danish design brand and recognized and applauded as global pioneer in creating sustainable, eco-conscious, socially responsible design.

“I founded Mater in 2006 and presented it to a global audience for the first time at Maison&Objet in Paris august 2007. I wanted to launch a brand that has a strong vision to create timeless and beautiful design based on an ethical business strategy. Mater combines exclusive furniture and lighting with working
methods that support people, local craft traditions and the environment. An external base of established and fresh design talent creates our commissioned collections. Both suitable for contract and private homes".
- Henrik Marstrand, CEO & Founder
