Next month, Materia will be opening a brand new inspiration center for materials in the Netherlands. Good thing, since some materials simply have to be touched and felt to understand their unique properties, such as this Hybrix by Lamera that is combining stiffness with formability.

Materia is known for her worldwide exhibits and Material Explorer website with new materials. Following this up with a brand new Inspiration Center is reason enough to keep you updated.

If you're around in the Netherlands, read on and win VIP tickets!

"The opening of the Inspiration Centre in The Netherlands will be marked in festive fashion by two exclusive 'mini-seminars' on 12 and 13 October. Cristiano Ceccato (Gehry Technologies) and Marc Simmons (Front inc.) will be giving lectures and discussing with the audience about the realisation of complex designs. Materia attaches great importance to the depth and quality of the discussions, and for that reason we are limiting the number of participants to 40 per day. Invitations are only being extended to a select and renowned group of people."

"Materia gives you the opportunity to experience one of the seminars by organizing a contest especially for those enthusiastic about new materials:
- Send an email to info@materia.nl with a proposal for a new material in the Material Explorer. Please enclose your name and address.
- The two most original/innovative/beautiful entries will be rewarded with an exclusive ticket to the VIP-opening of the Materia Inspiration Centre.
- The other entries which do not win, but judged good enough for the Material Explorer, will be published with the name of the sender at www.materialexplorer.com."
