What More Than Layers does
More Than Layers (MTL) is a computational design studio and B2B concept store founded in 2022 in Haarlem, Netherlands, specializing in large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) of furniture and interior objects using industrial robotic arms. The company combines computational design, AI-assisted workflows, and circular-economy material sourcing — including recycled PET, fishing nets, Beon3D polypropylene (LyondellBasell), and elephant grass bioplastic (Vibers) — to produce durable, mono-material, recyclable furniture across collections such as Booble, Vallure, K-Collection, Naia, Sensa lamps, Hiruki, Lunar, Exy, and Avant-Garde wine racks. Products are priced between €110 and €2,499 per unit and sold through an owned e-commerce storefront and a physical concept store in Haarlem.
MTL generates revenue through three streams: direct product sales via e-commerce, bespoke custom design and manufacturing projects for brands and commercial spaces, and Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) consulting, workshops, and technical support. Enterprise clients to date include G-STAR RAW (Antwerp store lighting), SADC at Schiphol Airport (communal table co-designed with Apto Architects), and CLUB3/Patronaat (Model.C3 modular lounge), with SignWise and 3D Makers Zone (3DMZ) serving as core manufacturing and finishing partners and Adaxis providing the AdaOne robotic control software.
The company's go-to-market combines sales-led B2B engagement targeting architects, interior designers, hospitality brands, real estate developers, and event planners with D2C e-commerce and an experiential concept store. Marketing relies on Instagram, the company website, and industry events such as Addidex Connect and the 3D Print Gallery exhibition series. Operations are anchored in a 1-10 person team with a single HQ and design studio at Oudeweg 91-95 in Haarlem; the firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding.
