Materials & Insight
At Nirvana, we believe materials have the power to turn a good idea into a great one. That’s why we spend
our time in pursuit of innovative and inspiring products and processes that can do just that. Our materials
library, housed at our London headquarters, is the physical manifestation of this search, and provides
a space for individuals and brands to explore the furthest reaches of their imagination.
Nirvana’s own Material Boards are an extension of this exploration. Collaborating with an impressive roster
from across the creative industries – including graphics specialist Anthony Burrill and product designer
Alexander Taylor – we use each instalment in the ongoing series as a means of bringing together
a material and a process in a thoughtful union that reflects what we call Creative Production.
Nirvana’s Insight department closely monitors the latest news, trends and happenings from across the
different areas in which we work. We draw on more than a decade of experience to provide bespoke
feedback for our range of international clients, regularly released insight reports, as well as interviews and
features that champion our in-house expertise and that of our extensive network of partners
