Matterpieces are high-end cladding materials made out of inert waste from demolitions, like glass, bricks, cement, stones, etc., minimizing the consumption of natural materials in architecture and diverting waste away from landfills by applying the circular economy principles. The material applications include floor panels, wall coverings, furniture tops, and countertops.
Matterpieces combines an old crafters’ technique called Terrazzo with a collaborative design process: a circular strategy that unites several industry actors for waste upcycling, promoting knowledge exchange and interaction!
Matterpieces aims to transform aesthetically places and to compete with the existing market! We do plenty of design experiments and adopt the concept of OBSERVE – LEARN – CREATE! We develop aesthetically compelling textures by being inspired by other cultures, natural textures, and landscapes.
Matterpieces is also memory and culture: it promotes the conservation of the building’s geological memory, maintaining its legacy without freezing it in history.
