Material Antics is a design-driven initiative born from a passion for sustainable innovation and material
exploration. We champion the transformation of discarded resources into high-value design artifacts, believing
that every material—whether natural or man-made—holds untapped creative potential.
Our founder, a design aficionada and obsessive explorer of materiality, established Material Antics to address a
critical gap in the circular economy: the rescue and reimagination of materials deemed unsuitable for traditional
resale or donation. We specialize in material recovery from upholstered furniture, particularly focusing on
high-quality leather that would otherwise end up in landfills.
... every material deserves a second chance. Our mission is to intercept quality resources before they reach
landfills and transform them into tomorrow's design innovations.
Our expertise combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative sustainable practices. We’ve developed
specialized skills in material recovery, particularly from complex upholstered pieces.
