Material Republic Launch Night

Material Republic’s launch marked the coming together of two leading brands in one inspiring showroom space

December 14th, 2012

The launch of Material Republic brings the collections of Art Hide and 3form together in one immaculately presented showcase for high-end finishes.

Situated in Richmond, Victoria, the launch of the Material Republic venture provided the opportunity for Art Hide to launch their new colour ways for the lauded Nueva Raya Verde, Division and Filigrano collections as well as showcase a new twist on Art Hide’s trademark laser burning techniques.

3form’s ecoresin capabilities are a perfect fit for cohabiting the Material Republic space. Across lighting, partitioning and decorative applications the 3form range is a natural fit.

Material Republic wish to thank their launch partners that played an integral part in making the evening such a success: Cointreau, Envoy Furniture, The Lighting Guild and Voyager Candles.
