Chloe Bullock

Materialise Interiors is an award-winning, B Corp Certified, Brighton-based interior design company run by Chloe Bullock, working for clients in Brighton, London and the South East, offering sustainable, healthy and vegan interior design for commercial and residential clients.

• We are growing more and more aware of where things come from, the people & processes involved and the impact on the planet.  So to support this, Chloe helps clients by creating spaces and specifications that have a lower impact on the planet and people - whilst also looking luxurious!
• We  are reported to be spending 90% of our time indoors and our spaces are increasingly made more and more air tight.  So it's important we are mindful of what we put in those spaces with us as inside air quality can often be many times worse than outside.

Named as PETA’s Compassionate Designer in their Vegan Homeware Awards.  

Chloe has written a book Sustainable Interior Design, commissioned by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) launched in the Spring of  2024. The book covers the various approaches to a sustainable interior design, with the goal of inspiring the interior design industry to work in a more conscious way, with a lessened impact.  

Working for clients in South East England and further away - online, Chloe supports project teams with advice on sustainable and regenerative design solutions - sourcing or materials.  She has gone on to study Regenerative Design and is now Living Future Accredited  (Living Building Challenge) and is able to support regenerative projects where we can improve and enhance, delivering projects that go beyond interiors and regeneratively include the surrounding land and communities to demonstrate "what good looks like".. She is a keen follower of human-centric, healthy design principles - using standards such as WELL building standard, and FitWel® to ensure spaces are healthy for the users.

ANIMAL FRIENDLY, HUMAN FRIENDLY, PLANET FRIENDLY INTERIOR DESIGN

FitWel® is part of the healthy building movement and is a building standard which advances human health and wellness in buildings and communities. In other words - it's a new approach to healthy building design which makes the building work for it's users rather than the other way around. The standard covers air and water quality, nourishment, healthy lighting and daylight, fitness, mind and comfort. The standard is science-based and evidence-based and is proven to greatly improve the user experience, resulting in happier, more engaged and productive people. I can apply these principles to clients projects and help with certification.  https://fitwel.org/
