Marked Matter, where the warranty card becomes part of the object
An Italian engineering studio develops metal and composite identity systems that combine serialisation, QR codes, NFC, and product records.
Field notes
The system coordinates several identity layers on the same manufactured piece: visible serialisation, QR or Data Matrix codes, NFC, and a production record that can associate the object with its product and packaging. Materials are selected case by case rather than from a fixed catalogue, with options including titanium, marble, leather, cellulose acetate, and hybrid constructions. The site also says conductive materials are tested on the finished object for antenna architecture, shielding, and read performance.
