Materials are becoming harder to identify at first sight. Resin passes for glass, recycled PET takes on the delicacy of paper, soap carries the grain of timber, and recycled composites acquire the mass and texture of stone. This is more than mere imitation. By translating translucency, softness, grain, weight, drape or texture across material categories, designers can combine the sensory expectations of one material with the performance, fabrication possibilities or circular potential of another.
