MATERIAL LAB WAS CREATED BY AWARD-WINNING JOHNSON TILES, THE UK'S LARGEST MANUFACTURER AND IMPORTER OF CERAMIC WALL & FLOOR TILES.

The Stoke-on-Trent based company created Material Lab purely to answer the needs of the architectural and design community, asking what sort of ‘experience’ they wanted in a design resource studio. The solution was Material Lab, which opened its doors in January 2006.

Thanks to Johnson Tiles, Material Lab has become an established design resource studio in London where people can explore and be inspired by a huge range of materials, such as ceramics, glass, wallpaper, wood, carpet tiles, eco-resins and fabrics.

Within the contract market, Johnson Tiles’ experience, service and product range covers all aspects of the public and private specification market, from architects and designers to house builders and contractors.

Its tiles have been used by major contractors for housing projects, schools, universities, hotels, hospitals, industrial developments and the leisure industry.
