It should come as no surprise that Submaterial founder David Hamlin is fascinated with pinpointing exactly where art meets design. He established the New Mexico-based purveyor of functional decor in 2006 on the foundation of his fine art background and deep interest in fabrication and materiality. Today the company produces modular wool felt wall art that enhances acoustics, sculptural wooden room dividers for airflow and demarcation of interior space, and more for some of the world’s most skilled designers.
