What if you could explore the material landscape without spending days visiting trade shows?

A concentrated one-day session bringing material trends, future directions and more than 100 physical materials into one room.

You will gain a strategic overview of emerging material developments, with a particular focus on sustainable and innovative solutions, and explore how they could translate into real design applications.

What to expect

  1. Material Trends – An expert-led overview of the shifts shaping the future of materials and why they matter.
  2. 100+ Materials – A curated selection of innovative materials to see, touch and explore firsthand.
  3. From Trend to Application – Understand not only what is emerging, but where materials are already ready to be used in design.
  4. Sustainable Solutions – Discover material alternatives that challenge conventional assumptions around waste, resources and production.
  5. Strategic Perspective – A concentrated update for designers and creative teams who don’t have the time to visit multiple specialist material fairs.

Think of it as a Material Think Tank meets a curated material library – one day to step away from the screen, get tactile, discover what is changing and leave with a clearer view of what is possible.
