Introducing MaterialAlchemy
for the Soul
Our passion ignites at the intersection of colour change technology and holistic wellness. We believe that subtle shifts in colour can act as a guide, enhancing your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being without pulling you away from the essential moments of daily life. Our aim is to harness the transformative power of colour change technology to anchor you in the now, facilitating healing through the very energy that surrounds us.
​
Whether you're drawn to the spiritual essence of our materials or captivated by their aesthetic and interactive playfulness, we provide a spectrum of possibilities. Our materials are not just objects; they are experiences, designed to engage, to soothe, to energise, and to delight.
​
We empower you with the tools to consciously craft your environment. By merging rigorous research with the vibrant language of colour, we create interactive experiences that are steeped in intention and ritual.
​
Our work transcends the traditional boundaries of art, evolving into a living, breathing form of creative expression that you can inhabit and interact with.
Our suite of services is as diverse as the possibilities of our materials. We lead innovation in the field of chromo sensory technology, pushing the boundaries of what materials can do and how they can feel. Our R&D efforts are relentless in pursuit of new, sustainable ways to experience colour and material interaction. Through consultancy, we tailor our expertise to your vision, ensuring that the final product is not just an item, but a piece of living art that resonates with your brand's ethos and aesthetic.
​
Our workshops are immersive journeys into the world of colour and emotion. They are spaces where creativity is nurtured, where hands-on exploration leads to personal and collective discovery, and where the art of colour change becomes a shared language.
​
We stand firm in our belief that the healing properties of colour and sensory technology can be a powerful modality for individual and collective well-being. We envision a world where these technologies contribute to harmony across societies and the planet. At Material Evolution Lab, we're not just changing colours; we're aiming to change lives, one hue at a time.
​
Join us in this chromatic revolution, where every colour shift is a step towards balance, every interaction a path to wellness, and every innovation a stride towards a sustainable future.

WE WORK WITH:
Chromatic Sensory Nano Technology
​​We are continually evolving how sensory technologies can be applied and integrated into ordinary materials. Here are a few of the chromatic technologies we work with.
THERMOCHROMIC
Thermochromic materials are enhanced with the ability to change colour with heat
PHOTOCHROMIC
Photochromic materials change colour in response to fluctuations in atmospheric UV light
HYDROCHROMIC
Hydrochromic materials react in response to contact with liquids or moisture
LIQUID CRYSTAL
Liquid crystal materials display a rainbow spectrum through heat responsive light refractive colour
PHOTO-LUMINESCENT
Photo-luminescent materials absorb light in the day, then emit this in the dark
These cutting-edge colour change nano-technologies can be applied to a huge variety of materials, serving many purposes and opening up new possibilities for material use. Browse our portfolio pages to be inspired by ways we are helping bring materials to life worldwide, or contact us to discuss a specific goal you have for using sensory responsive materials.
We've Recently Worked With:
Agnieszka Kurant (b. 1978 Poland, based in New York, USA) is an interdisciplinary conceptual artist who investigates collective intelligence, non-human intelligences, and the exploitations within surveillance capitalism. She explores the transformations of the human in relation to technology and the future of labour and creativity. Her shape-shifting and evolving works, often behaving like living organisms, are alternately natural and artificial, real and synthetic, living and not, sentient and non-sentient, biological, geological and digital.
