Cork: a universe of possibilities one step away from the consumer
How cork became a favoured decoration element in furniture, upholstery, wall coverings, cushions and curtains.
Tell us a bit about the inspiration behind these projects.
For the Venture Craft office project, the idea was to create acoustic artwork using three-dimensional cork panels in combination with upholstery. Wall art is such an essential part of office design these days, but so is acoustics. It seemed to be a very natural step to combine the two. For the Duo Residence Show Suite,…

In addition to its multiple technical advantages, cork is 100% natural and one of the world’s most versatile materials. Studies show that for every ton of cork produced, the cork oak forest sequesters up to 73 tons of CO2, and no trees are felled in the process. In equipment that includes a shunt wall, this can be used…
How and when did you have the idea of using this raw material (cork) to create the Beller Collection?
It all started in January 2015 when Benjamin Pardo, executive vice president at Knoll, reached out to me. Both he and Roger Wall, president of Spinneybeck, had been interested in adding cork products to the Knoll and Spinneybeck collection. During their preliminary research they had come across some of my earlier work…
Acousticork wall bearing increases the lifetime of buildings, decreasing crack appearance due to the decoupling of elements
The supports formed by cork granulated with recycled materials, are used to decouple the connections of the masonry with the building’s structure. It has been developed to effectively interrupt the transmission of footstep noise vertically through the masonry. If wall bearings are used consistently throughout a buildin…

To answer Spinneybeck's criteria and demands of its new collection, Amorim Cork Solutions developed materials, processes and tools to produce the cork tiles designed by Lars Beller Fjetland. Inspired by techniques used in traditional shoe sole molding, Lisboa and Porto tiles are acoustically absorptive composite cork w…
You used cork for your project “Vertical Grounds”. Why did you choose this raw material and how did you apply it?
The ecological role of cork and its primary molecule, suberin is to serve as a protective barrier for the tree’s roots and other vascular systems. Cork is anti-microbial and hydrophobic and therefore seemed to be an ideal natural material to replace plastic in greenwall systems. After experimenting with cork at UCL’s B…
What can you tell us about your latest collection, STILL? What was your intention?
STILL is our signature atmosphere. We requalified a maritime heritage building in the Harbour of Antwerp into a contemporary monastic room. To elevate stillness in a contemplative atmosphere. We’ve been designing new collections - from low tables to wall units to sculptures, in order to propose a destination for medita…
Minimize power transformers’ noise & vibration with Amorim T&D solutions
Power transformers are often installed near residential areas, where strict noise requirements have been introduced. This has intensified the need to produce equipment that not only guarantees good long-term performance but also achieves greater vibration control and consequent noise reduction. It is often said that “j…
