Rematerialize! 2007
Observe the self-healing materials developed for use in auto parts.
Admire high quality upholstery made of pure, recycled plastic. Eat from
crockery fabricated with used coffee grounds!
Material Sense's exhibition "Rematerialize!" zooms in on quality materials made of familiar, ordinary substances that have undergone serious revaluation. These materials have nothing in common with the exhausted recycled products of the past. On the contrary they have been ‘rematerialized' into a better product. This is a strong trend in the way new materials are developing that raises great expectations for the future.
The exhibition divides its strange and wonderful samples into four categories. Self-healing materials can be found under the heading of ‘Recover'. ‘Refine' shows lighter and stronger materials. ‘Remind' brings together materials that add emotional value through lighting and projection. Discover original revaluated and reused ingredients along with natural alternatives in the ‘Revalue' category.
