ABOUT US
Materialities was founded to support material-led companies in navigating the increasingly complex architectural and design specification landscape.
We combine extensive hands-on experience in material research, interiors, specification and consultancy with a clear focus on manufacturer needs. Over the years, we have worked closely with architects, designers and suppliers, developing a deep understanding of how materials are researched, selected, specified and delivered within real projects.
Today, Materialities operates primarily as a consultant and A&D representative for manufacturers, helping brands position themselves clearly, communicate effectively with specifiers, and build meaningful relationships within the UK market.
We work in a strategic, collaborative and independent way — acting as an extension of your team rather than a traditional agency. Each engagement is tailored to product type, market maturity and commercial goals.
Heading up Materialities is Karin Skoglund.
She has degrees in Spacial Design, Interior Design and Interior Architecture from the University of the Arts, London.
Karin gained over 10 years of professional experience as an Interior Designer, FF+E Designer, Materials Librarian and Researcher prior to launching Materialities in 2018.
She's experienced in project management and has worked with manufacturers as an A&D consultant for the A&D market.
Among other certifications, Karin is a registered LEED Green Associate, BRE Associate and Prince 2 Certified.
