Material Xperience 2014, our large show in the Netherlands, was all about the ‘The Smart Environment’. From high-tech laboratory composites to great new uses for natural based materials, all the materials on show added some clever ideas to the field of materials for design.

We had some of the most popular materials currently in use at the show, arranged in a special Wall of Fame section. These were examined, photographed and talked about at Material Xperience. We’ve collected the materials here for your convenience. Also have a look at the materials in Material Xperience setting over on our Facebook page.
