Material Libraries

What is your stuff made out of? When we look at the products around us - consumer electronics, furniture, food containers - it's always that same fifteen materials. It's plastics. Glass. Aluminum. Wood. At Nonfiction, we insist on getting more creative with materials. One of the ways we do that is by accessing a material library. Our headquarters hosts a world-class material library created by Material ConneXion, a New York City based material science company that gathers a lot of materials - and most importantly sustainable materials - from all over the world. Our office features hundreds of materials that you can touch, smell, bend, and read about. Learn about why we have a material library, and how we use it in this latest episode of Future Future hosted by Phnam Bagley and Mardis Bagley.
