Material Bank Europe

Material Bank is the world’s largest marketplace for searching, sampling, and specifying architecture, design, and construction materials. The service allows architects, interior designers, and corporate buyers to browse collections from over 400 European and global manufacturers. Combining a powerful platform with efficient logistics, Material Bank allows approved members to order samples for free from more than 40 categories, including textiles, ceramics, paint, flooring, tiles, acoustics, and wallcoverings. Shipping to 29 European countries and the Middle East from the Material Bank logistics hub next to Paris-Charles De Gaulle Airport, they receive their chosen samples in one box the next day, saving design professionals valuable time.
