Material Matters
Cover image missing

Established in 2019, Material Matters is a platform investigating the importance of material intelligence in architecture and design. Having published over 120 podcasts and staged three editions of an annual fair in London, 2025 sees the brand stage an event outside the UK for the first time. In partnership with the festival organisers, Material Matters is poised to be an integral part of this year’s 3daysofdesign, positioned as a key destination for the city in the heart of the district Christianshavn.

Staged in a dedicated exhibition space within the historic Gammel Dok building, highly visible from the city centre with panoramic views of Copenhagen’s skyline, it is one of the most iconic waterfront buildings in Christianshavn—a unique district with a rich history of trade and craftsmanship. Material Matters Copenhagen will feature a curated selection of exhibitors, each presenting a distinct material story that highlights the importance of material intelligence in shaping the future. Alongside the exhibitions, visitors can experience live talks, demonstrations, and events as part of Material Matters Copenhagen 2025.

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.
