And we look forward to many new meetings and projects to be inspired by in 2026.

We warmly welcome Krista Gunnarsson, our new sales representative in Gothenburg and the surrounding area.
Can you tell us a bit about your background in design and sales?
– I started working in the interior design industry with textiles back in 1998. It’s a field I truly love, and since then, I have been involved in both interior design and textiles, taking on roles as both an indoor and outdoor sales representative.
What are you most looking forward to in your role as a Sales Representative at Materia?
– I am really looking forward to delving into Materia’s fantastic collection of furniture and learning more about the design philosophy. Additionally, I am excited to meet both new and existing clients and to contribute to creating inspiring solutions for them. I am naturally curious and can’t wait for this new challenge!
What do you enjoy doing outside of work that nurtures your creativity?
– I find inspiration in being close to the sea and spending time with good friends and my family.

We love hearing feedback from our customers and we really appreciate the time primary school teacher Eleonor Holm took to write this detailed review of Motus stool.
For the past year, I have been using Materia’s stool every day in my teaching.
The stool is easy to lift, flexible and easy to move around in the classroom, even in confined spaces such as between student desks. It is comfortable to sit on and the height of the stool helps you maintain a good ergonomic posture, which is otherwise difficult on a normal chair or stool.
Thanks to the foot rail under the stool, you can easily change the position of your legs (e.g. by resting one foot or both on the rail), which is both comfortable and offers variation.
The seat not only looks good with its rounded shape, but it also stays clean and doesn´t show any signs of wear and tear despite intensive daily use.
I highly recommend this product for people who require flexibility and speed of movement in their work, and even for those with sedentary jobs (e.g. office work), as it gives a good ergonomic posture and keeps you moving.
After more than 20 years of using different types of stools, cushions, yoga balls and chairs, I don’t ever want to use any other chair in my daily teaching.
Eleonor Holm,
Primary school teacher
In der Designszene gibt es eine ganze Reihe von vielversprechenden jungen Talenten, die nur darauf warten, ihr Publikum zu finden. Mit der Auszeichnung „Newcomer“ zollen wir diesen jungen und mut-igen Designern Anerkennung. Seit der Einführung der Auszeichnung im Jahr 2006 bieten wir jungen Designern damit eine internationale Plattform, um sich in einer stark umkämpften Branche einen Namen zu machen. Gleichzeitig ist Newcomer für uns eine Möglichkeit, unserem Sortiment eine gewisse Verspieltheit zu verleihen und stärker jenseits von gewohnten Bahnen zu denken.
Der Sieger im Jahr 2020 heißt Alexander Rehn, und das Produkt trägt den Namen Rocca. Alexander kommt aus München, wo er an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste Innenarchitektur und Produktdesign studierte.
Mit seinem Produkt verfolgte Alexander Rehn von Anfang ein klares Ziel. Er sah, dass die Menschen immer mehr Zeit im Sitzen verbringen, insbesondere in Büros. Er wollte einen verspielten Hocker schaffen, der den Körper zur Bewegung anregen und so den Menschen die Möglichkeit zu mehr Aktivität geben sollte.
Seine Einzigartigkeit erhält der Hocker Rocca durch seine Schlichtheit. Der Ring sorgt für Beweglichkeit, und die Sitzfläche bietet Komfort; beides zusammen bildet eine harmonische Einheit. Der Name Rocca leitet sich von „rocking chair“, also „Schaukelstuhl“, ab, da man auf dem Hocker sitzt und gleichzeitig schaukelt.
