materieunite was born within the Research and Development program of Arti Grafiche Celori, a historic printing company in central Italy with almost a hundred years of experience in the paper industry. Following the purchase of a numerically controlled cutting plotter for digital printing, the company decided to invest in the search for young creatives and designers with the goal of bringing a new project to life.

The first projects are developed in the city of Terni, the birthplace and headquarters of materieunite, with the desire to bring new stimuli within an industrial reality that has always been known for the production of highly polluting materials such as steel and plastic. Participation in the Turin Graphic Days opens regional boundaries to new collaborations throughout the country.

In May 2021, materieunite from an R&D project becomes a full-fledged innovative startup. In September, the company’s award by the European Commission as a “Rising Star” of the New European Bauhaus. In November another recognition with a special mention by Nativa for environmental sustainability.

In May 2022, thanks to the support of Sviluppumbria, materieunite will move its headquarters to the new industrial hall.

Barcelona, Berlin, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Lille, Mallorca are just some of the cities in which materieunite is beginning to place itself through its stands and retail projects.

Each solution is now the result of a process of exploration that questions materials, forms and functions, with the aim of identifying new expressive languages capable of dialoguing with the present

In 2025, materieunite begins testing Agave, a proprietary integrated platform for design and production of fittings. At the same time, the first furniture collections are launched.
