Oasis Plants supports design of new hub for architects and designers at Manchester’s NOMA scheme

Oasis Plants, the Cheshire company specialising in the design, installation and maintenance of indoor and exterior planting including living walls, is supporting Material Source when it opens the doors to its design hub at NOMA this year.

The brand new 15,000 sq ft, Manchester-based design destination, due to open this autumn, will allow visitors from across the North West and beyond to fully immerse themselves in ‘beautifully useful’ products and materials, while becoming part of a likeminded creative community.

Set across two levels, Material Source Studio will feature a wealth of inspirational exhibits and interactive displays from Oasis Plants, alongside 29 other leading brands operating in the materials and furniture sectors.

The space will also host a monthly ‘maker in residence’ – providing a platform for emerging local talent – a CPD area, a 100-seat theatre space, numerous meeting areas for seminars from industry experts and a podcast studio.

The space is further enhanced with various internal gardens connecting both floors.

Material Source Studio brings together the creative acumen of Darren Clanford, co-founder of Material Source – an online magazine for architects, designers, and makers – and the operational experience of Michael Rogan.

A spokesperson from Oasis Plants said: “As a leading company in the interior landscaping industry, Oasis Plants welcomed the opportunity to flex our creative muscles in this ‘one of a kind’ studio.

“With experience ranging from 5 star hotels right the way through to multinational car showrooms our design led team were only too pleased to be included to showcase our skills.

“Accessibility was a key consideration from the start. The studio will be accessible for everyone while being fully Covid secure in line with the current Government guidelines.”
