CORK series The pieces were designed and made to display the potential of cork as a material. something that can be versatile, attractive and sustainable. Cork is one of the most sustainable materials to harvest and is completely recyclable. However, using the branches of cork trees is more sustainable to the typical production from tree bark.

Architects Brimet Silva and Ana Fonseca of Digitalab developed a way to turn cork into a thin thread that can be used to make furniture, lighting and textiles. it is called CO-RK, the thread creates a new sustainable, nonfibrous alternative to materials like plastic. The thread is made by adding water to pellets of cork before pressing the mixture and cutting it into thin strips.

Cork thread is washable and lightweight. Continuing to have the original properties of cork. Having a cellular structure, making it elastic, impermeable to liquids and gasses, a good thermal and sound insulator and a high resistance to fire. Cork is also a carbon dioxide sink, meaning it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, playing an important role in protecting the environment.
