Mater Design
Sustainable Furniture
Mater creates circular, sustainable furniture in Copenhagen using innovative technology to transform waste materials into timeless designs. Founded in 2006 by Henrik Marstrand, Mater pioneered the use of FSC®-certified wood and now leads the industry with patented Matek™ materials made from coffee shells, sawdust, e-waste, ocean plastics, and more.
All Mater furniture is designed for disassembly and recycling, supported by a unique take-back system that ensures products made with Matek™ can be returned and remade into new pieces. The brand’s collections include indoor and outdoor furniture, such as the acclaimed Mater High Stool and Ocean Collection, crafted in collaboration with renowned designers.
Mater’s production methods reduce carbon emissions and reliance on virgin resources, with blends featuring biodegradable plastics from renewable sugarcane. The company’s ongoing research and partnerships drive new uses for industrial, pharma, and food industry waste, setting a benchmark for responsible, circular design.
