CAT LAB · Materials Library

The materials we make with

1,000 materials across 7 families, the substances the Lab holds, cuts and builds from. 5 of them are written up in depth, with every figure naming its source; the rest carry what the stock catalogue knows while we work through them. Where we do not yet hold a photograph, or a number we are licensed to publish, you will find that said plainly rather than guessed at.

Through-colour fibreboard
