A new kind of home show where the object finds you. Featuring 40+ exhibitors with objects that span eras, from contemporary to vintage.
About this Event

A world where every piece tells a story. Where the thrill of the hunt meets the art of the home. From vintage furniture to upcycled textiles to obscure objects, Material Matters brings together the best in vintage, design, and craftsmanship. From the team behind Manhattan Vintage and Artists & Fleas.


What’s it all about? Material Matters is a curated show for exhibitors rooted in home: furniture, objects, décor, art, and the work that carries craft and character. We bring together sellers and shoppers who collect with intention, mix eras with ease, and believe the right piece can transform a room and outlast any trend.


Is it for me? Material Matters is for those who collect, curate, and care. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or you’re just beginning to shape your space, if you’re curious about design, inspired by the thrill of the hunt, or ready to make your home feel more like you, Material Matters is for you.
