This year’s the Architect Show (tAS) presents the Material Library, an archive of endless inspiration for architects and designers. This curated showcase features a diverse range of architectural material samples from numerous companies and suppliers, offering a hands-on opportunity to explore textures, colours, and finishes that push the boundaries of contemporary design. Serving as both a resource and a creative playground, the Material Library invites visitors to reimagine the possibilities of material innovation in architecture and interior design.

Adding a unique layer to the experience, the walls of the Material Library are adorned with bespoke pieces inspired by the iconic landscapes of Santorini. Produced by ELTOP using precision laser-cut Formica sheets, each segment is meticulously assembled to form a striking, modern mosaic. The composition captures the radiant hues and timeless charm of the Greek island, creating a vibrant homage to its natural beauty. This artful integration of design and craftsmanship transforms the Material Library into more than just an exhibition — it becomes a celebration of materials as a medium for storytelling and creativity.
