Sustainability ⌵
One Conscious Chair contains
2140g waste materials
Cutting-edge technology allows Mater to make furniture from waste materials in their patented Matek® material by combining fibre with a binder. The Matek® is made by mixing e-waste with either coffee waste from Danish coffee producer BKI Kaffe or wood waste.
E-waste is a growing environmental concern across the globe due to the world’s use and throwaway
culture. Only 17.4% of total global e-waste is known to have been collected and properly recycled. This figure has dropped over the last five years as a percentage of total waste generated.

Care and maintenance ⌵
Matek™
The Matek™ material is made from a mix of recycled fibre and plastic waste. It offers a strong, durable surface that is easy to clean and requires very little maintenance.
For daily care, it is recommended to dust the surface with a soft cloth. The surface can be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in a mild solution of lukewarm water and a universal cleaning detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents and harsh detergents, as these may damage the surface.
Avoid placing Matek™ furniture in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity over longer periods of time, as this can affect the appearance of the material.
As Matek™ furniture is made from a blend of natural materials, each piece is unique, and its appearance may vary from item to item. A slight change in colour over the years is also to be expected.
Matek™ furniture also has a distinct smell when first unpacked, but this will fade after a few days of use.
Lacquered or stained wood
Lacquered or stained wood offers a strong surface, it’s easy to clean, and requires little maintenance.
For daily care, it is recommended to dust the furniture with a soft cloth. The product can also be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung in a mild solution of lukewarm water and a universal cleaning detergent. Always follow the wood grains and dry with a soft dry cloth immediately afterwards.
Avoid using abrasive and aggressive cleaning detergents, as this will damage the surface of the wood treatment. Avoid placing wooden furniture in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity over longer periods of time, as this can interfere with the appearance of the wood.
