Materialize Lab

In the Materialize Lab of the Faculty of Interior Architecture, Architecture and Design IAD, innovative materials are researched for use in furniture and object design. Both technology transfer from related fields and the use of materials from other disciplines are explored.

The lab approaches the exciting field of new materials from two directions, the theoretical with the discovery of new materials, detached from a specific application, and the pragmatic, with the investigation of materials in their predetermined field of application. Thus, regardless of the original field of application, samples of new materials are collected and built up into an extensive sample collection (currently over 1200 material samples).
