materials

We get it, materials are tricky, to put it lightly. It can be quite the task to decide if you should choose cotton or rayon, recycled or virgin, and what’s the difference between organic and conventional cotton anyway? Is vegan leather really better for the environment? What’s best for the environment, and what’s best for the product? Does it really matter where the material comes from, or how it’s made. These are all questions that OofM Studio can help you find answers to.

Material selection is perhaps the most important part of developing premium quality products that last, are not harmful to human health, and will not pollute the environment. It can occur before, during or after the design phase. Regardless of when it occurs, what is integral is that the selected material/s are harmonious with the design. They must work together to achieve one cohesive design objective. Through research, sourcing outreach and testing, OofM Studio works with existing and emerging brands to identify the best raw materials that meet their unique design aesthetic, along with performance and sustainability objectives.
