HABITAREMATERIALS

Habitarematerials is an experiential and inspiring material library based on the concept of democratizing design. The exhibition offers visitors space and freedom to browse through materials and explore their own tastes by experimenting with different combinations of surfaces and colors. The materials are attractively presented, and there is product information on each sample that visitors can photograph and take with them for making purchases. Habitarematerials Milan incorporates a spatial exhibition design, samples from Finnish material suppliers, and unique furniture made from materials from participating companies. The exhibition features 14 Finnish companies: Cover Story, CWP, Durat, Johanna Gullichsen, Karava, Nordic Copper, Novo Wood, Pihlgren &Ritola, Sera Helsinki, Stala, Luonnon Betoni, Laatupaneeli, Tulikivi, and VM-Carpet.

Designed by NEMO architects Jussi Laine and Maria Klemetti Laine, Habitarematerials was created for Habitare, Finland’s largest furniture, design, and interior decoration event, and seen in the event for the first time in 2019. Habitarematerials Milan will be the first time that Habitare has brought its own exhibition to an international event outside Finland.
