Last week we visited the fair Material Xperience 2012 in Rotterdam, following our continuous search for new, inspiring materials for our designs. We found the fair more interesting than last year, a bit smaller though than what we expected, but full of quite interesting materials for architects and designers, some lectures and mostly some useful catalogs with product specifications... We also discovered their wide online database for materials, free registration and membership- http://www.materia.nl/.The website is a bit slow, but we think it's worth taking a look.
Professional fairs represent an opportunity to discover the latest product innovations and can give new perspectives. Following this visit, we are already on the track for new ideas to implement in our Lab'.So we shall definitely come back soon with updates about our developments. Meanwhile, we thought of sharing with you some materials that caught our attention: the copper fabric(fabric made out of thin copper threads really flexible and strong in the same time, with a really interesting, delicate texture), bark cloth(natural fabric made in Uganda out of trees fibers, is 100% natural, organic and unique since each fabric is made out of the bark of one tree)...
