BASF publishes new materials selection guide
Chemicals manufacturer BASF has launched a guide to materials selection for 2016 and 2017, which the scouting team of its performance materials division has put together, working with a specialist design support team the company has set up under the name designfabrik.

Entitled Material Selection 16/17, the book will be distributed to BASF customers and partners and is aimed at designers and creatives in all industries.

One of the designers involved in the project, Alex Horisberger, said at the time of the launch: “Plastics are the materials of the twenty-first century. In our study we are dealing intensively with their aesthetics and functions. We introduce hybrid materials that can be combined for completely new purposes to make new designs possible.”
