The Future of Design: Pushing The Material Boundaries

In the last century, many designers would have come across this common question during the creative process: how do we make a design sustainable and innovative in its aesthetics?  

As a designer in the 21st century, our social responsibility towards sustainable design is more important than ever. To excel within the architecture and design industry today requires a high level of commitment to innovative forms, textures and materiality that also provide a solution, or a contribution to the sustainability conversation.

Now, in the last decade, the commercial design world has seen paradigm shifts and brilliant minds that have pushed the boundaries as we’ve never seen before. We’ve found ourselves at a time where being environmentally aware is an attractive quality, which then extends to sustainable products with experimental materials being more desirable. By continuously restoring and revitalising the connection between nature, design and people, we are always one step closer to a more exciting and greener future. Interior designers, architects and engineers have the power to shape a more vibrant and dynamic world for future generations through contemporary, unique design.

Always looking to challenge the conventional norms of the design sphere, these brands experiment, refine and continuously redefine the role of materiality within the industry.

  

Maxdesign

Maxdesign continues to redefine materiality, colours and finishes with a focus on pushing the material boundary across many of its designs. The brand consistently delivers products that meet the specific needs of architects and designers. And the creative powerhouse has introduced a new material innovation this year.

 

RE-MAX®

RE-MAX® comes in two ways – an exclusive material of 100 per cent recycled polypropylene (PP) from post-industrial waste, or a blend of recycled polypropylene with waste wood product. Available in a sophisticated colour palette of solid tones – as well as an array of RE-WOOD blends that marry recycled plastics, colours and recycled wood particles – the range creates an elegantly robust line of textures and tonalities.
