About Matere

Headed by graphic designer and art director Jess Howard, Matere is a UK brand of minimalist stationery inspired by the slow living philosophy - the idea that everyday activities can be enhanced through the use of premium products. The collection includes greeting cards, planners, notebooks and art prints that are consciously created using distinctive materials, quality craftsmanship and a considered, minimalist aesthetic. The stationery and home decor from Matere seeks inspiration from beautiful imagery, authentic materials and an understated sentiment. Designs reference zen art styles, architecture and interior design, graphic design, travel, and nature. To ensure a premium user experience, the notepads, journals and notebooks are filled with thick paper that provide an alternative to a screen-heavy existence, encouraging the tangible, sensory experience of writing and sketching by hand. The items are designed for discerning stationery lovers who value high quality design with an uncompromising sustainable ethos. As part of the sustainability efforts, all methods and materials used in the creation, production and distribution of the paper products are environmentally friendly. Paper stock is 100% recyclable and sourced from sustainable forestry initiatives, and orders are packaged plastic- free. Printed in small batches in the UK, the Matere collection of minimalist stationery and art are stocked in retailers worldwide, and celebrated in such publications as Elle Decoration.Read their story
