Snøhetta and Ege Carpets introduce MATTER — a new woven language rooted in randomness
During this years 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen, Snøhetta and Ege Carpets launch MATTER – a flatwoven carpet collection shaped by digital randomness, advanced technology, and sustainable materials. A design method as radical as the result.
At the core of MATTER is a redefinition of how patterns are created. Inspired by the functional beauty of natural systems, Snøhetta developed a generative design process that translates randomness into woven form.
Using code as both tool and medium, randomness is no longer a byproduct—it becomes the logic that drives the design. Instead of repeating patterns, MATTER uses a set of randomized algorithms to generate a woven composition that is always shifting—subtle, non-linear, and alive. The result is a surface that feels closer to nature than to machine: ordered, yet never predictable.
