April 2009: All about “Growth”

Designers growing products pixel by pixel – scientists creating plastics from sugar – flexible wood growing from trees? Material Stories just published its first newsletter online. The theme is “Growth” and is full of inspiring books, links, and resources.

Material Stories – a strategic partner of Laurich & Kollegen – is owned by Aart van Bezooyen who works as intermediary between the materials industry and the world of design. Material Stories website offers an up-to-date weblog, materials resources, and quarterly newsletter.

Material Stories was founded by Aart van Bezooyen in 2005 to bridge the gap between the materials industry and the world of design. Aart inspires and enables the best use of materials to make design more competitive, creative and sustainable. Material Stories services include materials research, concept design, and strategic consulting.
