The Materiality Collection is a collection of stunning home decor that focuses as much on form as it does on function. By doing so, it brings to light some of the everyday materials that often go unnoticed by the contemporary urban dweller. These materials include basalt stone, terrazzo, copper and glass. By concentrating on such 'ordinary' textures, the Materiality Collection allows them to shine as they should. As the Mexican design collective, Panorámica, expresses, "We believe that is possible to generate a new identity for these noble and sincere material."
Comprised of eight pieces, the Materiality Collection offer a range of items for the home. One of the standout pieces is the Terrazzo Hanging Pot, which is made using a mix of concrete, stone and granite. It is hung using a copper ring and rope.
