Matera

Matera sells modular, tool-free shelving, storage cubes and workspace furniture made from recycled aluminum and FSC birch plywood. Price points sit in the mid-range: single cubes start around €39, full wall systems run €300-€1,200. The brand trades only through its own site get.matera.eu and ships flat-packed across the EU. The system’s click-connector aluminum frame lets users reconfigure shelves, desks or room dividers without screws or wall drilling; all parts are replaceable and backed by a 10-year repair-or-reuse guarantee. Matera highlights 70 % recycled content, plastic-free packaging and a take-back program that credits 20 % of original value toward future orders. Best-known SKUs are the 40 cm “Essential Cube” and the 120 cm “Studio Desk” extension. Core buyers are design-conscious renters, home-office workers and small creative studios who need flexible, damage-free furniture that can move house or expand on demand. They value circular materials, understated Scandinavian colorways and the ability to buy once, then adapt rather than replace. Matera competes with flat-pack storage giants and Scandinavian modular brands, but separates itself by combining tool-free reconfigurability, high recycled-metal content and a closed-loop trade-in scheme—features rarely offered together in the mid-price segment.
