Creative work has always been a collaborative and community endeavor, and our favorite home textile manufacturer Mastara is leading the way in that arena. It is showing us the many different ways a brand can help fuel creativity. The brand believes that designers hold a vital role in the world of home textiles and decor. They are not merely clients to Mastara, but trusted partners who bring their unique visions to the table, elevating the functionality and visual appeal of spaces.
The bond between Mastara and designers is built on mutual respect, unwavering support, and a shared love for innovative design. The brand has been collaborating with established and emerging designers since the very beginning and are constantly nurturing a diverse design community and warmly welcoming both seasoned and budding designers. Their goal is to provide a platform for emerging talents to showcase their creative flair alongside established professionals. Mastara actively seek new talent to collaborate with and encourage designers to approach them with ideas, projects and opportunities.
These are just some of the ways they work with designers:
Utilizing the Dedicated Studio Space
Designers can use the studio space as a creative playground. It’s equipped for them to bring clients, explore Mastara’s extensive fabric collections, and discuss window covering solutions and upholstery options. The studio is ideal for creating mood boards, making decisions, and finding inspiration in a hands-on environment.
Fabric Box Initiative
These boxes are designed for on-the-go convenience, featuring a broad range of fabric samples for curtains, upholstery, and blinds. They are compact, yet comprehensive, containing a significant number of samples and are QR code-enabled for quick information access. These boxes are not only practical but also reusable, catering to the dynamic needs of designers. They are completely free for any designer or engineer who signs up to the Mastara ID Programme which comes with a world of benefits, including discounts, referral structures and marketing support.
Customization Requests
Mastara is equipped to accommodate bespoke requests, ensuring that designers can realize their unique vision for each project. They’ve stretched these muscles a few times when teaming up with visionary designers like Ziad Sarkis to really push their bespoke capabilities to its limits. We were awed by the unexpectedly whimsical croissant-like sofa aptly named ‘Croissant by Ziad Sarkis’ that has a wonderful oak wood structure and details wrapped in Italian teddy Bouclé. This is still a best-selling piece and available on the website.
Other extras
Designers can always participate in upcoming workshop series for professional development and networking. Additionally they can make use of their access to Mastara’s social series, ‘Mastara Minute’, for sharing industry insights and exposure.
Mastara is quite busy and there are several projects in the pipeline like planning to host design competitions and showcases. The brand is also working on expanding the workshop series to cover more specialized topics while also developing collaborative collections with designers. Finally, always keep in mind that Mastara has an open door policy for any designer or engineer to explore new ways of origin with them, the sky’s the limit.
Mastara is the first and only bilingual app and website in the region to offer customized sofas, curtains and blinds online. Book a free consultation today at www.mastara.me/appointment or Whatsapp 9092 5757.
