Produced in partnership with Hermès, the second volume of The Materia Archive brings together ten conversations with architects, designers, artists, and makers whose practices are shaped by close attention to material, place, process, and time.
Originally published throughout the year on materia.press, these interviews are collected in print as a lasting record of the ideas and observations shaping contemporary creative practice. Together, they offer a slower way of engaging with the people and perspectives that continue to influence the field.
Featuring Atelier Ollin, Estudio Material, Grace Atkinson, Goma Taller, Melanie Raines, Monterr, Pablo Pérez Palacios, Pol Agustí, Sophie Dries, and Vince Skelly.
