Introducing the Material Source Studio partners - part seven.

As we prepare to open the doors to our very first Material Source Studio, there's just time to give you a run-down of the remainder of our founding partners.

Covering all bases, we're working with a cross-section of the commercial interiors and built environment's most trailblazing brands to support you on your specification journey.

So whether it's a hospitality, retail or residential project you're working on, or perhaps healthcare, education, workplace or the public realm, you're sure to find what you need here in NOMA's Hanover Building. Sign up to receive our newsletter to be first in the know about the Studio launch. And, in the meantime, check out some more of the partners you can expect to experience when you visit...

Alusid

Never less than 98% recycled materials

At Alusid, we proudly make use of unwanted manufacturing materials that others discard. Taking these materials, we put them through an ingenious, environmentally low-impact process to give them a new lease of life.

The result is a special new material that combines recycled glass and porcelain, to create beautiful solid surfaces and tiles that are bespoke in character and respectful of the planet.

Launched in 2015, Alusid is the result of a research project at the University of Central Lancashire. Setting out to explore ways in which waste and low-value materials destined for landfill could be repurposed into beautiful, versatile surface materials, Professor David Binns and Dr Alasdair Bremner developed Silicastone – an innovative and aesthetically versatile architectural surface material made from glass, ceramics and mineral waste.

Rug Atelier

From the hills of New Zealand, to the Lancashire landscape. One ethical, traceable journey. Rugs with unmatched material quality. And design workmanship, as standard.

Our team comprises old friends, an engaged local community and a global collaborator. And we all share in one goal. To produce beautiful rugs from 100% ethically-sourced New Zealand wool, spun and dyed in the UK.

From our workshop in Lancashire, master makers with more than 30 years’ experience produce all our rugs to order. Select from a seasonal collection of contemporary designs to suit any style and interior setting. All combining a vibrancy of colour with creativity of pattern, and an unparalleled seamless finish.

Our in-house designed ranges are enhanced further by a highly personalised bespoke service.
