Material lab is a one stop material shop in central London. This is an inspirational showroom by H & R Johnson tiles Limited. The interior space is full of materials and the presentation is fantastic. As a designer, I love visiting Material Lab to look at the variety of material especially ceramic tiles and glass mosaic for inspiration and idea. It is also a good place for me introduce materials to my clients, much more effective than showing them photographs and pictures. Here, I would be able to touch and feel the materials and collect samples for my presentation board. There are a good range of tiles available, anything from £10 to £150 per metre square I reckon. The staffs are friendly and helpful. Some popular materials have a bit of leading time in terms of ordering them though. I once waited for 6 weeks for a light grey glass mosaic, quite a wait!
