Feria Hábitat València is set to captivate architecture and interior design professionals with an innovative exhibit titled “Materials with a Conscience,” running from September 29 to October 2, 2025. Organized in collaboration with Material Bank and the consultancy experts at Matter, the exhibit aims to redefine the selection process for sustainable materials used in contemporary architecture and interior design projects.
Held at Feria Valencia alongside Textilhogar, the exhibit will feature an extraordinary collection of sustainable claddings and innovative materials. Its central focus is highlighting the significant impact of materials on people’s well-being and the environment. Visitors will explore how strategic material choices can cultivate healthier, eco-friendly spaces, reducing environmental footprints without compromising aesthetics or functionality.
Matter, a leading materials consultancy with offices in Madrid, Barcelona, and Sotogrande, will present an inspiring selection of “materialboards.” These carefully curated boards will demonstrate contemporary materials known for their calming aesthetics, exceptional sustainability credentials, and technological innovation. Matter’s professional architects and consultants will guide attendees through this thoughtfully arranged exhibition, providing deeper insights into each material’s unique benefits.
Further enhancing the visitor experience, architects and designers attending the exhibit will gain access to Material Bank’s innovative sampling platform. Professionals can conveniently request samples directly at the venue, subsequently receiving them at their offices. This streamlined approach simplifies material selection, empowering designers and architects with tangible, hands-on examples that can influence their future projects.
The partnership between Material Bank and Matter represents a strategic effort to transform the material specification process within Spain’s architecture and interior design industry. Material Bank, founded by Adam Sandow and led by CEO Sebastian Gunningham, operates globally in over 30 countries. The platform serves as a vital resource, connecting more than 150,000 international professionals with over 400 material brands.
Similarly, Matter, founded by Jordi Antonijoan, supports approximately 4,000 architecture and interior design projects annually, representing over 900 international manufacturers. The consultancy provides extensive access to sustainable and technologically advanced materials, positioning itself at the forefront of innovative design solutions.
The “Materials with a Conscience” exhibit underscores Hábitat’s commitment to sustainable innovation and its ongoing influence within the global furniture and design community.
