Now architects and interior designers can discover and touch the high quality and numerous applications of Santamargherita materials quickly and easily.

Material Bank, the US online platform dedicated to research, sampling and specification definitions of materials for architecture, construction and design, lands in Europe from mid-April, and Santa Margherita will be part of the project immediately.

Material Bank is a marketplace that facilitates the research and work of design professionals by gathering thousands of references of selected companies in one place. By accessing the platform, it is possible to request samples of one or more Santamargherita products and receive them at home the day after the order is sent, inside a sustainable box: an ecological choice that well illustrates Material Bank’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact, an approach fully shared by Santamargherita.

By joining the Material Bank database, Santamargherita adds a new element to its commitment to promoting Italian excellence through high quality materials that make the ideas of architects, designers and planners concrete and real. A high-level partnership, which aims to increase brand awareness of the Italian brand in the US and Canadian markets.

The Material Bank startup, founded in 2019 by Adam Sandow, publisher of trade publications, such as Interior Design and Metropolis, has quickly become the most important material bank in North America, with more than 500 companies and over 100,000 registered architects, interior designers and buyers from various sectors.

Material Bank is now ready to expand into the European market: scheduled to launch in April 2023, the company aims to have more than 100 manufacturers on the platform and to reach 15,000 members in Europe, the UK and Switzerland. A prominent showcase in which Santamargherita will have its own exclusive space.
