Material Technologies has created a global ecosystem of connected businesses and brands, the first of which was Material Bank. Material Bank is now the world’s largest B2B marketplace for the architecture and design industry, providing the fastest and most powerful way to search, sample, and specify materials. Members can explore materials from hundreds of brands, order samples until midnight (ET), and receive everything in a single box by 10:30 AM the next day - all for free.

Material Technologies is expanding its reach into B2C with the launch of DesignShop. DesignShop is reinventing the home design process by taking the most exciting elements of Pinterest and combining them with a massive library of home design materials from hundreds of the country's best brands, all of which are instantly available for overnight sampling. DesignShop’s shoppable inspiration is highly accurate and when coupled with its hyper-realistic interactive design tools, allows users to create beautiful scenes comprised of any material in its library. We envision DesignShop evolving into the world’s most powerful virtual design center.
