There’s no need to rehash what we already know. The Arctic is Melting. It’s a fact that we are going to have to come to grips with. Shipping lanes are being changed, animals and natives are being displaced, and ice is disappearing faster than my digg friends when I attempt to swing the conversation away from bodily functions to politics.

Mater is a completely new design brand from Denmark that are launching their first collection at the Maison et Objet fair in Paris this week. On top of their great products Mater acts with social responsibility deep in its genes from the start.

Global warming is melting the Arctic at an alarming pace. This summer the Arctic ice cover was the smallest ever recorded. As a result, a host of countries are seeking to drill for the oil and gas once protected by ice.
And the more oil and gas we burn, the faster the Arctic melts and the closer our planet comes to catastrophic climate change.
