Handmade in New Mexico

Submaterial moved to the Land of Enchantment in 2012 from the rain-drenched Pacific Northwest. The landscape, geography, culture, and architecture of this place has been deeply inspirational to the company and its designs. Today, our sun-drenched 35,000 sq. ft. studio provides us with the space and flexibility to continuously challenge ourselves.

Testimonials

Jody

Wander Mirror | Pill

We saw a photo of a unique mirror in Su Casa magazine and noted it was made locally by Submaterial. It looked like it would be perfect for our dining room wall, so we contacted the company. We placed our order at the end of September with an expected pick-up date in early December. Our beautiful Pill Wander Mirror was hanging on our dining room wall at Thanksgiving!

Ana

Ojo and Odessa

Love my two pieces, Odessa and Ojo! You will not find such unique and gorgeous felt design anywhere else. Truly beautiful artwork that becomes the centerpiece of whatever room you put them in. These pieces of art are also well made, high quality and the team is amazing to work for...they listen well, have many creative ideas to share and are proud of the amazing work they do. All around a great experience.

Damian

Lyric Flat

Once I started telecommuting, I knew I wanted a Submaterial piece for my home office that would appear in the background for virtual calls and conferences. From all the designs I liked, I chose the one I thought would look best in my setting. It was a great process to work with with the designer and sales manager to customize it to my specifications. I am thrilled with the result and love to see it each day. I look forward to working on another soon for my living space.

Jane

Lyric Wall Hanging

We absolutely love our felt wall hanging. Everyone who comes to our home loves it and asks about it. We had such a positive experience working with the company. The communication was excellent, they were very helpful with the design and color process. I would definitely recommend Submaterial. Best experience ever!

Lyric Flat

The customization process was outstanding. Damian worked quickly to develop a design based on our sketches, and Submaterial was able to meet our tight installation schedule.

Designing my custom piece was really fun, I enjoyed video chatting with the sales and design teams to show off my specific situation and they really honed in on the ask as we created a few revisions. Now it's a great background piece for my work calls at home.
