D e sign p h il o s o p h y “For every one of the millions of products we use to improve our lives, there are associated environmental, ethical and social consequences. Some products have a small environmental bearing while others consume finite resources in vast quantities. We strive to avoid and minimize the adverse impact on society, focusing on ethical criteria while creating sensual, timeless and durable products that will both stand the test of time and inspire the consumer to cherish and savor.� Henrik Marstrand, CEO & founder of Mater

b o wl t a b l e The Bowl Table is designed by the Indian designer, Ayush Kasliwal. The table top is made from Indian mango wood that is cut down once the productive life of the tree is over and another one is planted to replace it. The table top is turned manually on a lathe, showcasing the skill of Kharadi, an Indian wood turning community and supports their local skills. The finish used on the table top is a lead free water based PU lacquer and respects the local environment. The legs are made of milled hollow steel rods and can be detached for ease of labor and transportation.

S h e ll dining C h a i r The Shell Chair is designed by the American designer Michael W. Dreeben and inspired by traditional craft practices in North India, particularly saddle making. Exquisite saddles have been produced in India for centuries and although some horse culture persists, it’s disminshing as India becomes more technologically developed. The Shell Chairs attempt to revitalize this skilled trade by providing leather stitching artisans with a global market for their craft and hopefully encourage them to pass it on to younger generations. The wooden frame is crafted from FSC certified wood with a waterbased stain and respects the local environment. The Shell Chair is also available in a lounge and barstool edition.

Sophie mirror Sophie is designed by the young French designer, Jean-Francois Merillou. The design is inspired by an old barrel and follows the sizes and materials of our highly successful Bowl Table range. Nails hammered by hand resembles the craftsmanship of making a barrel. The spacing around the mirror accentuates the circle and a shadow is created on the wood giving a feeling of the depth – like a barrel.

Terho L amp The Terho lamp is designed by the Finnish designer Maija Puoskari. Terho means acorn in Finnish and the name simply refers to the organic and appealing shape of acorns found in nature. The enchanting color of alder wood (FSC certified) and the hand blown white glass opal are an unique combination of design seldomly seen. The Terho lamp can be used individually or as a collective of different sizes in a small group.

T r u m p e t c o a t s t a nd The Trumpet Coatstand is designed by the Danish architect duo Space Copenhagen.
