Merging Matter is a collaboration between maker-designers Natasja van der Meer and Marisa Klaster, united by their respect for handmade objects at the intersection of art and design. Their work explores the raw beauty of natural materials, emphasizing craftsmanship, sustainability, and storytelling. Merging Matter designs and crafts objects for its own collections and on commission, primarily working with local materials sourced from the client’s surroundings.
