Material ConneXion Comes Into its Own
3.1.10 | I always wondered why Material ConneXion was spelled that way. . .
and why is that X capitalized? It was clearly a choice that emphasized a
deliberate intent of the company, but the intent was remained a mystery
until I visited the firm’s new space, located at 60 Madison Avenue in New
York. I was aware of Material ConneXion’s status as a global material
consultancy – the firm has four other locations, two in Europe and two in
Asia, each with a capital X of a different color in its logo – and knew
it focused on materials for construction and design, but as a resource
librarian, I noticed it didn’t catalog materials the way that I or my
fellow resource librarians did. During my visit I realized that Material
ConneXion is a unique company that, in the end, expertly indexes what is
possible in manufacturing and design.
