Lawcris Unveils their MaterialHub – A Bold New Creative Space in Leeds
Leeds, United Kingdom, 12th Dec 2025 – Lawcris, a leading name in the supply of decorative panels and worktops, have launched their new MaterialHub. This inspiring new creative space designed exclusively for interior designers, architects, furniture makers and shop fitters.

Hands-On Creative Space
In a world dominated by AI and digital design, the MaterialHUB is a bold, physical space built to restore hands-on creativity and real-world material exploration for interior designers and specifiers.
The Lawcris MaterialHUB offers a destination for imagination… with a twist. This train-themed creative hub takes visitors on a journey through inspiration, materials, and innovation at every stop. Showcasing decorative panels from industry giants, the MaterialHUB empowers the next generation of design thinking.
Material Exploration Tools
Inside, visitors discover an unrivalled selection of swatch books, coaster-size samples for moodboards, A4 takeaways, and large-scale A3 and A2 displays to experience true scale. For those seeking the bigger picture, full sheets are available in the adjoining warehouse, providing a rare opportunity to see entire patterns and textures in person.
Lauren Barker, who designed the MaterialHUB, says, “The moment you walk in, your creative brain just explodes! The train theme is only the start… We have actual suitcases made from decors, graffiti panels offering an urban underground edge, a control room with light displays, and more inspiration than you can shake a swatch at. It’s a full-on designer playground packed with the latest trends and panel tech, so you’ll never fall behind. You don’t just visit the MaterialHUB… you experience it!”
