Introducing the Material Source Studio

September 30, 2021 3 min read

The team here at Neon Creations are so excited to be lighting up a small part of Manchester thanks to a feature in the upcoming Material Source Studio. Set to open their doors in Autumn this year, you will find the studio based in NOMA, Manchester. The brand new 15,000sqft design destination has been planned to allow visitors of the North-West the opportunity to immerse themselves in a wide range of products and materials from industry-leading brands of the creative community, including ourselves!

We are so delighted to have been chosen by Material Source as one of the founding partners. Not only this but they also asked us to make their their logo in neon! So of course, we created them a neon logo fitted onto preserved moss backing (supplied by another partner of the studio, Oasis Plants). This is currently placed in their temporary studio, whilst they await completion of the permanent studio.
