About Mater

2012

We introduce the Bowl Table made

of mango wood. Mango wood is a

byproduct of an already thriving

industry. When the trees stop bearing

fruits, it’s cut down, and a new one is

planted. Harvesting the wood that was

previously burnt or left to break down is

a source of sustainable material.

2020

In alliance with large corporations,

Mater explores new technology

that recycles industrial fibre and

plastic waste. This results in five

new unique patented materials

under the name MatekTM.

2022

Introducing our Mater Take-

back system. We offer to take all

furniture made with MatekTM

back at the end of its life to

recycle it into new furniture.

2019

We start using ocean waste for our outdoor

series and injection moulded chairs. Old

fishing nets from the ocean are collected,

washed, shredded and made into pellets,

also known as green plastic.

2019

The Ocean collection by

Nanna Ditzel is awarded with

the Wallpaper* Magazines

Design award.

2023

We incorporated e-waste (end-

of-life electronic appliances) in

our MatekTM production. E-waste

is considered the fastest-growing

waste stream in the world.

2024

Launch of our biodegradable MatekTM

variant. Using biodegradable plastic

with the MatekTM technology allows the

MatekTM to be decomposable by living

organisms in the same way as wood or any

other natural material would.
