╳ If clothes maketh the man, do materials maketh the designer? We think so! New materials present opportunities for creative applications, and Materia, the Netherlands-based knowledge centre for developments and innovations in materials, provides samples from all over the worldto stimulate and inspire designers, artists and producers to apply these materials to their work.

╳ Unlike similar organisations, Materia offers free use of their search engine with complete access to a knowledge bank of materials' information; and through their 'Inspiration Centre', where new materials can be seen and felt in real life, they are a platform for knowledge development, interaction and cross-fertilisation. Quite an inspirational experience.
