Conscious Collection

The new Conscious Chair 3162  is a part of Mater's new Conscious Collection designed in 1958 by the renowned Danish furniture designers and architects Børge Mogensen and Esben Klint. The collection is a reimagined collection made in waste materials by Mater. The collection was origially made for Danish schools, therefore the chair and table is known as the 'school' table and chair.

Introducing a new innovative technology

Since Mater was founded in 2006, we have explored ways to use selected waste streams in furniture production. With our Matek® process, we combine fibre materials, such as wood residues or coffee shells, with a binder. In some Matek® formulations, the binder contains recycled plastic from discarded electronic equipment. The resulting composite can be formed into furniture components using press moulding. Material composition varies by product.

Matek® components can be ground down and reprocessed for use in new production. Customers with furniture containing Matek® can contact us to discuss take-back options. Arrangements depend on the product, location and volume.

We provide care and repair guidance and, where available, spare parts to help customers keep their furniture in use.
