Objects

Since the early days of Submaterial, we have played with creating small sculptural objects that referenced natural forms, from pinecones to trees. We have also tested the waters with functional home items that double as beautiful design. Submaterial is thrilled to offer some of our favorite objects. Murmur trees are tree-like objects grouped in sets of three, creating the effect of a small grove or stand. Spindle coasters serve a purpose but equally make a beautiful tablescape sculpture. These works explore the territory between objects of art and objects of design.

Handmade in New Mexico

From its start in 2006 in the rain-drenched Pacific Northwest to our current sun-soaked New Mexico studio, Submaterial has always focused on natural and sustainable materials such as wool felt, cork, wood, and leather. These materials are fashioned by hand into beautifully surfaced wallcoverings, panels, screens, and more by our skilled fabricators using environmentally conscious and lean manufacturing processes.
