About




Our Journey In Life Starts with a Question,
Without Questions there will be no Answers.
Never Stop Asking Question
Because that is who we are Fundamentally.


The Material Atelier by 本 (BEN) is a Multi-Disciplinary Creative Studio that explores and experiment with materials of the world. The Atelier seeks to connect humanity with the values of material knowledge and appreciation through documentation of culture, science and design. Our purpose is to question what we see and experience as a person and re-think our action as a human. Focused on how we appreciate materials, we hope to bring everyone along a journey of questions and questioning with The Material Atelier. 


本 started in 2016 by Benjamin Koh, a Multi-Disciplinary Designer, from Lasalle College of the Arts (Singapore). His intention of starting the Atelier was to create a platform where he can continue to document his work and interest in Material Research and Exploration while sharing his discovery and journey at the same time. Benjamin graduated from Lasalle College of the Arts with a first class honours in BA (HONS) Fashion Design and Textile with a major in Textile Design. Prior to his degree, he also owns a Diploma in Experience and Product Design from Singapore Polytechnic. Benjamin have diverse experience in different fields ranging from Furniture Design, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Design and Fashion Design. He also had opportunities to work as a Fashion Design Assistant in New York City, Designer in Garment Factory located in South East Asia, as well as designing for a Creative Studio in Hong Kong. 

He hope that by gaining insights to the world of materials, we can better understand the purpose and functionality of products that ultimately contribute to sustainable production and consumption.
