Warranty & Care

Two-year warranty. 

Care for Matek®: This material is easy to clean and re­quires very little maintenance. For daily care, dust the surface with a soft cloth. The surface can be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung in a mild solution of lukewarm water and a universal cleaning detergent.    

Avoid use of abrasive cleaning agents and aggressive cleaning detergents as this might damage the surface. Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight, or excessive heat or humidity. For tabletops, use trivets under hot objects, such as coffee pots and cups, to prevent damage to the surface.     

Care for soaped wood: Soaped wood requires a gentle and daily care to avoid permanent stains. Clean with a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. Follow the wood grains, and always dry with a soft, dry cloth immediately after cleaning. In case of stains on soaped wood, lightly sand the surface with sandpaper grade 220 or 240. Then wipe with a dry, soft cloth and follow the wood grains. Apply mild soap, again following the wood grains. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents and aggressive cleaning detergents. Avoid placing wooden furniture in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity.   

Care for lacquered or stained wood: Compared to natural or oiled wood, lacquered and stained wood is easier to clean and requires very little maintenance. For daily care, dust furniture with a soft cloth. Clean with a soft cloth wrung in a mild solution of lukewarm water and a universal cleaning detergent. Always follow the wood grains, and always dry with a soft dry cloth immediately after cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents and aggressive cleaning detergents. Avoid placing wooden furniture in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity. Use of trivets under hot objects, such as coffee pots and cups.

Meet Mater

Innovative Danish brand Mater reuses everything from coffee shells to plastic waste to create their sustainable designs. Based in Copenhagen since 2006, they’ve long championed an approach to manufacturing that prioritizes minimal environmental impact. Their name means “mother” in Latin, signaling a promise to honor Mother Earth through high-quality pieces with timeless simplicity.

The Future of Furniture 

Through years of research and testing, Mater invented Matek® — a unique, patented material that enables the brand to make furniture from waste materials. Matek offers unprecedented tactility and materiality with features that resemble timeless materials like stone, terrazzo, or even marble. It’s water-repellent and highly durable, and considered to be a material in line with wood, stone, or any other raw material.

The Conscious Collection

The Conscious Chair is a part of Mater's Conscious Collection, originally designed in 1958 by the renowned Danish furniture designers and architects Børge Mogensen and Esben Klint. It’s furniture reimagined and made from sustainably sourced wood plus waste in a future-forward material exclusive to Mater. The collection was first made for Danish schools and has remained timeless through the decades.

Designer Spotlight

Danish furniture designer Børge Mogensen was one of the most important among a generation of furniture designers who made Danish Modern known throughout the world. His simple and functional designs complemented the work of Danish architect and cabinetmaker Esben Klint, renowned for several church restoration projects and his bespoke furniture and lighting designs.
