Information

Milleforma manufactures products for acoustic comfort using bio-based materials. The raw materials used to make Milleforma Cotton Tiles are 100% reusable. These tiles are an acoustic and decorative covering, for both wall or ceiling attachment, and are made with cotton linters and clay. The raw materials are processed in cold water in a closed production cycle. In the water bath, the linters are mixed with earth-based pigments, without the addition of chemical dyes and mordant, after which they take shape with a cold molding process. This manual processing allows Milleforma to obtain light shades that are never repeated in an identical way, making each tile unique and precious. At the end of life of the product, the wall-covering can be returned to Milleforma and they will be reused. 100% of the material is put into their production process again. Milleforma offers 6 different shapes in their Acoustic Cotton Tiles: quadrato, triangolo, trapezio, pentagono, rettangolo e quadrilatero irregolare. For every shape they offer 28 different colors, allowing architects and designers to access a limitless number of patterns.

MATERIAL DRIVENMaterialDriven is a design agency and materials library in the UK, US, and Spain. We are a strategic interface between the developers of innovative and sustainable materials, and the studios, brands, or institutions seeking to learn about and apply them. Our work covers three realms–Education, Curation, and Consulting–and our clients range from consumer goods brands to architectural studios, developers, hotel chains, fashion labels, trade events, and museums.  With a curated range of materials in our collection, our expertise lies in locating and sourcing innovative materials, as well as understanding their applications, and impact across industries. This collection serves as the basis for projects and connections that we enable and draws from the ever-growing network of material developers that we work with, around the world.  A quality that distinguishes us from other collections and agencies in the field is the variance of scale and type we capture, and in particular, the relationships we build–with individual material makers, rising startups, established manufacturers, academics, and scientists alike. MaterialDriven is led by partners Purva Chawla and Adele Orcajada.  Designing for (Radical) Change This year, the idea of Change holds new meaning, and in the context of an increasingly volatile world, it has become an intrinsic part of our world and reality. Faced with the uncertainty of change, designers must be resilient, using the tools available to them mange the shift–transforming a crisis into an opportunity for growth. They must straddle a post-pandemic reality, which presents new, polarized consumer and industry needs, and develop solutions that achieve equity between sustainability, technology, craft, physical, social and emotional wellbeing, economy, art, science and innovation. In order to address these key issues, in both their products and spaces, designers must accomplish the delicate balance between protection and nourishment, creating a sense of aseptic cleanliness but also tactile comfort. Combining both natural and synthetic objects, creating a crossover between digital and the physical experiences will have to be seamless. What designers deliver will need to address our sense of isolation and need for uniqueness, while providing access to community and more standardized solutions. MaterialDriven’s virtual curated display will explore the key role that design is playing to support our society through change, reflected in each of the selected materials.  From materials that are extremely resilient, to those which promote self-sufficiency and wellbeing, visitors will discover healthy alternatives for antimicrobial surfaces, plant-based plastics and leathers, new and robust masonry formats, natural performance materials, innovative colour solutions, as well as pollution-based and pollution-absolving materials.
