MATERIAL MIXTAPE 08
The Anatomy of Leather: From Pasture to Product
by Purva Kundaje, Designer

“The more honestly a material can explain its origins, the stronger its claim. The more it hides, the more we should ask.”

In this issue of Material Mixtape, Designer reflects on her visit to British Pasture Leather farm and explores what true sustainability really means.

Last week, our Designer took us through - here’s what stood out...
 
A clear move towards the raw, imperfect aesthetic of recycled materials, rejecting the surface-level idea of what’s simply “environmentally friendly.”
 
As the return to office continues, exhibitors focused on flexible, modular, and neuroinclusive systems designed around how people actually work.
 
And across the supplier showrooms, there was a noticeable sense of playfulness - less purely informational, more immersive and engaging.
 
CDW is no longer just for the design industry. The way brands communicate their ideas feels far more accessible and culturally relevant.

MATERIAL MIXTAPE 07
Rendering Imperfection: The Digital Craft of Patina
by Edward Price, Senior Visualiser

“For me, spending time digitally crafting material ageing reflects the passage of time itself.”

This year, Material Mixtape is told through the perspectives of the people who work with materials every day, capturing how our architects, designers, and visualisers think about materiality, not just what materials are.

In this issue, our Senior Visualiser, Ed, reflects on the role of digital craft in depicting material ageing, and how this perspective can support a more conscious and responsible approach to design.
