Mater Terra: A David Village Lighting Exclusive!

31 January 2025


As an exciting start to 2025, we're thrilled to announce the launch of the Terra Collection by Mater, a UK exclusive to David Village Lighting.

The Mater Terra collection boasts a range of minimalistic lamps with a geometric shade and an earthy colour palette. Mater have sustainability at the heart of everything they do and Terra is the first series of lighting crafted from their Matek™ material - crafted out of post-consumer e-waste mixed with coffee shell waste. This collection of lighting solutions is an exciting addition to the David Village Lighting catalogue, and we can't wait to tell you more about them.

The Terra Lamp Collection comprises of a pendant lamp, a wall light, and a portable lamp, all crafted from Mater’s proprietary material, Matek™. This material offers a unique tactility and materiality with features that resemble timeless materials like stone, terrazzo, or even marble. Matek™ is water-repellent and highly durable, and Mater consider it as a material in line with wood, stone, plastic, or any other raw material. They are continuously exploring and testing new materials to use with Matek™ technology.

The technology behind Matek™ allows the brand to capture carbon in their furniture and lighting by recycling waste into timeless classics using resources already available to us, instead of virgin materials. To produce Matek™, Mater use either post-consumer waste or post-industrial waste available to them through successful collaborations with large-scale corporations.

The Mater Terra lights were designed by OEO Studio, founded by Thomas Lykke and Anne-Marie Buemann. The collaboration between Mater and OEO Studio is marked by a shared passion for sustainable design and a keen interest in exploring the creative possibilities of new material. The Terra lamps produce focused downlighting that can be used in a variety of settings, in both commercial and residential interiors.

The design is a direct result of the opportunities offered by Matek™. It is minimalist, precise, and timeless. The two available finishes, Black or Rust Red, can easily adapt to a multitude of interior styles and add a rustic charm to your space. Each lighting solution in the Terra collection can be used independently or alongside others in the range, and thanks to the IP44 rating of the Mater Terra Portable Lamp, you can even brighten up your garden, terrace or patio.
