Joe and Rebeca have been working together for over a decade—first as collaborators, now as co-founders of Habitat Matter. Rebeca brings a strong background in Architecture & Design, with an eye for beautiful materials and a talent for building impactful relationships. Joe brings the strategy and business expertise, with a passion for building systems that run smoothly and drive real impact.

They founded Habitat Matter in 2019 with a clear vision: to make better material options more accessible in the US.

Designers play a critical role in shaping a more sustainable future. Every project is an opportunity to move away from materials that rely on finite sources, and towards those that are natural, low-impact and thoughtfully made.

Habitat Matter’s mission is to put those better options into the hands of the people who shape the spaces we live and work in. Today, they are a boutique, dedicated team working to source and share innovative and sustainable acoustic materials that don’t compromise aesthetics or performance. By partnering with exceptional, design-forward makers and suppliers, they aim to make a lasting impact on both design and the environment through thoughtful material choices.
