How Material Hub Works: A Simpler Way to Discover and Order Material Samples
Finding the right materials should feel inspiring — not time-consuming.
Architects and interior designers spend countless hours researching products, requesting samples from different suppliers, tracking deliveries, and managing decisions across multiple projects.
Material Hub was created to simplify that process.
With one platform, professionals can discover materials, request samples, organise selections, and receive everything in one streamlined experience.
Here’s exactly how Material Hub works.
1. Join Material Hub as a Professional
The first step is creating your professional account.
Material Hub is designed specifically for architects, interior designers, specifiers, and other design professionals.
Once registered, you gain access to a curated ecosystem of material brands and a streamlined sampling experience.
Creating an account gives you access to:
-
Free material sampling*
-
Personal boards to organise selections
-
Faster sample requests
-
Saved materials and projects
-
A more personalised experience
-
The sign-up process is simple and designed to get you exploring materials quickly.
2. Explore Thousands of Materials in One Place
Instead of searching supplier websites one by one, Material Hub brings materials together in a single platform.
Browse across categories and discover:
-
Surface finishes
-
Stone and engineered materials
-
Timber products
-
Interior finishes
-
Architectural surfaces
-
Decorative materials
-
Emerging product innovations
You can filter materials based on what matters to your project and compare options more efficiently.
Whether you're sourcing for hospitality, residential, workplace, retail, or commercial environments, Material Hub helps shorten the discovery phase.
3. Save Materials to Boards and Build Project Collections
Material selection rarely happens in one sitting.
Material Hub allows you to create Boards where you can collect materials for specific projects, concepts, clients, or design directions.
Examples include:
-
Residential Kitchen Concepts
-
Hospitality Material Palette
-
Commercial Workplace Finishes
-
Client Presentation Options
-
Boards make it easier to:
-
Organise inspiration
-
Compare materials visually
-
Share ideas internally
-
Return to decisions later
Your selections stay connected to real project workflows.
4. Add Samples to Cart
Once you’ve found materials you want to evaluate physically, simply add them to your cart.
Instead of contacting multiple suppliers individually, Material Hub centralises sample ordering into a single experience.
This means:
-
Fewer emails
-
Less admin work
-
Faster decision-making
-
Better project momentum
You can request multiple samples at once and continue refining your selection.
5. Receive Your Samples Together
One of the biggest challenges in material sourcing is logistics.
Material Hub simplifies this by helping consolidate the experience into one delivery process, making sample ordering feel more seamless.
Receiving samples together allows you to:
-
Compare materials side by side
-
Build cohesive palettes
-
Reduce project delays
-
Make decisions with confidence
Because materials should be experienced — not only viewed on screen.
