Materials and surfaces are of special importance in our daily life. They affect, even if mostly subconsciously, the way we perceive our surrounding – their appearance and haptics have a formative influence on the product experience. From a ceramic tile, which realises the concept of continuous surfaces, to biomimetic fish and reptile skin to a T-shirt, which is dyed with graphite: The exhibition “Material meets Design” presents smart materials and shows exemplary products which were decisively influenced by them.
