This untraditional workplace has the characteristics of a traditional one, such as the tabletop for laptops, personal storage, and close to power outlets. The undulating, soft design is consistent throughout the series. When it comes to choice of materials and manufacturing methods, we are uncompromising. One of our goals is for all products containing wood to come from responsibly managed forests, certified according to FSC® (Forest Steward-ship Council). This time we have taken a further step towards our sustainability goals which is why the moulded polyurethane foam used is the REDcert2 certified PurFlex® Biomass Balance. This material helps reduce fossil consumption, while also reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

The modular sofa can be configured according to your needs, providing comfortable seating suitable for many different spaces, such as offices, receptions, and shopping malls. Oas also works as an exclusive lounge sofa for hotels and lobbies.

Since the end of August, we have had the honour of having two students from France with us at Materia, Lena Chasseloup and Anatole Durre who normally study at the EPF School of Engineering in Paris, France.

How has it been living in Sweden this autumn?
– This semester in Sweden was a great experience! It was nice to discover a new culture. The nature around Tranås is beautiful, and we were able to enjoy the lake, at least when it was not yet frozen. We had a great time here and we don’t want to go back.

What have you been doing during your time at Materia?
– The work carried out during this internship focused on a time study, with the aim of moving from a weekly to a daily planning. For this, we had to carry out a frequency study as well as a study of production times. Once these studies were completed, a solution had to be found to plan on a daily basis. The solution we chose was to develop an Excel program to automatically schedule and allocate each order by day according to priorities.

What have you learned?
– This internship gave us a better understanding of how a company works. We learned more about production lines and how to make a piece of furniture. We also learned to conduct studies, and deepened our knowledge of programming. This internship was also an opportunity to improve our Swedish.

What is the best thing about being an intern at Materia?
– The best thing about Materia is the very nice atmosphere, everyone was kind and welcoming with us. This is a part of the reason why we will keep very good memories of this internship.

Is there something special about Sweden you will miss when you return to France?
– What we will certainly miss are the people we have met. We will also have a hard time getting rid of good Swedish habits like Fika. The fresh air of Tranås will also be missed.

– It has been a pleasure to have Lena and Anatole at Materia for almost 4 months. With their commitment and curiosity, they have achieved a lot during their time with us. They have been an appreciated addition to our team and we wish them all the best in the future! says production technician Mikael Gustavsson.

2020 has been a strange and trying year for many, also for us at Materia. It was a year in which we needed to change and adapt to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. Equipped with new insights and ways of working, we are now looking forward to 2021 and hope it will be a year in which we can meet again in person.

Despite all the turbulence, we have been fully focused on developing new, well-designed products. These exciting novelties will be launched in the spring of 2021, but we don’t yet know exactly how and when. We are awaiting the recommendations of the Swedish authorities. Therefore, as an early Christmas present, we are offering a sneak peek in the film below.

Welcome to visit us at stand A17:19, 4-8 February.

We will launch a new exciting product designed by our Newcomer at Stockholm Furniture Fair in February. You can already apply to be our Newcomer 2021, read more here.

We are very happy to announce that ALTO has won the prestigious German Design Award 2020 for Excellent Product Design in the category: Furniture.

The Statement of the Jury:
The combination of filigree underframe and voluminous, inviting cushions gives the sofa its own unmistakeable identity, which is reinforced by the unusual height of the surface of the seat. An interesting piece of furniture, with a comfortable, modern high-quality appearance, which is also functional.

Newcomer 2016, Lean In

Welcome to a new materia.se. We have rebuilt the website from scratch and in addition to it being responsive (the content automatically adjusts to fit different screen sizes), we are introducing a number of improved features which we believe you will enjoy. For instance it has never been easier to be inspired. Images can be sorted according to type of environment, furniture or case study. Another feature we have added is the automatic compilation of product details to create a product sheet when you choose to print or save as a PDF. Take some time to have a look around the site and see how the new features can help you.

2014 marks the start of a new communications concept. At Materia, we view our work in a larger perspective, where meetings between people is the driving force for innovative furniture design. We have taken this onboard and highlight it in the “Design meets…” concept which for instance can be seen as printed advertisements in trade magazines and newspapers.

“The interior design sector has already reacted very positively to the new concept. Basing the communicative approach on the everyday lives of people and how our furniture design encounters users provides a genuine and authentic picture of our products,” says Tobias Söder, sales and marketing manager at Materia.

The new concept is also integrated into Materia’s new website, where it has become easier to find inspiration and information.
