Design Biennial Boston

We are pleased to announce that Matter Design will be exhibiting at this years Design Biennial Boston. We have been busy casting a half-scale spiral staircase we call 'Helix' that will skewer the existing entry stair at the BSA. This project is a continuation of our dedication to volume with a series of scale prototypes and applied research translating past methods of making into contemporary culture. We hope to see you there and please spread the word! Please join us for the opening of the third Design Biennial Boston. Thursday, 21 February 2013, from 6 to 8 p.m. at BSA Space, 290 Congress Street, Boston. For directions, please click here.
