Let’s Cork Together

When blended with other materials, in high technological formulae, cork may not be so visible. That's why we have created Cork Inside by Amorim. A seal that assures that, even if you don't see it, cork is present in the optimal amount in our products, rigorously tested by Amorim Cork Solutions’ innovation and engineeri…

Cork is a 100% natural material that has a honeycomb-like structure of microscopic cells filled with an air-like gas and coated mainly with suberin and lignin. One cubic centimeter of cork contains about 40 million cells. It has a closed-cell structure, making it lightweight, airtight and watertight. Cork is an amazing…

As curator of The Bridge Collection, my goal was to connect the museum and the collection in an engaging and accessible way and, on a broader spectrum, to connect the physical exhibition with the narrative and the history of the collection. In this sense, I tried to bring together art and ecology. Cork offers both, bei…

Cork is a magnificent raw material. In addition to all its possible variations, it is also recyclable and renewable. These are very interesting factors from an environmental perspective. It is incredibly light, soft to the touch, with a profound, intricate and yet subtle color. Best of all is the fact that it is comple…

Cork combines unique thermal insulation, impact resistance, and lightweight properties, making it exceptionally well suited for demanding aerospace applications. In the SALTO project, cork-based technology demonstrates its potential as a strategic material for the sustainable evolution of space systems, offering a natu…

“The idea is to produce cork-based shoes because we believe in the properties of cork such as its lightweight and sustainability, but we also really appreciate that the material comes from Europe and not from somewhere else requiring long-distance transportation. Cork is also a nice material to work with; it's easy to…

I should first note that the Store was designed by Reddymade, a New York Architecture office founded by Suchi Reddy. I was working directly for them, although Google was of course the end client. There were three main reasons why Google was interested in choosing cork as a theme for their retail environment. First, the…

Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke. On observing a sliver of cork under a rudimentary microscope, the English scientist discovered that it was made up of multifaceted cavities, which he called cells (from the Latin cellula, small room).

The name Quercus suber L. stems from the fact that the cork oak belongs to the oak family - «Quercus (oak) suber», because it is a subspecies of the oak tree - and L. derives from Linnaeus, who was the first botanist to describe the species.

Thanks to the thermal and weak combustion properties of cork, cork oaks are more fire-resistant than other trees. The slow combustion of cork makes it a natural fire retardant, forming a barrier against fires. Its combustion does not release smoke or toxic gases.

By choosing Go4Cork’s Christmas Collection, you’re embracing a sustainable material that’s both stylish and functional. Cork is harvested without harming the tree, meaning it regenerates and can be collected again over time. It’s an eco-friendly choice that aligns with a more mindful, sustainable holiday season.

Amorim T&D is a range of cork composite solutions, developed by Amorim Cork Solutions, especially for the power industry. These solutions not only perform well in these specific applications but also offer environmental advantages. As a natural and renewable material, cork aligns with sustainability goals while del…

Cork is unlike any other flooring material. Harvested sustainably from the bark of cork oak trees, it embodies the principles of balance and harmony — the very essence of yoga. But beyond its eco-conscious origins, cork delivers a combination of physical and sensory benefits that make it uniquely suited to yoga practic…

As a product design studio we are constantly looking for unique and sustainable materials to work with.   Cork is certainly one of the most sustainable materials in the world with a large variety of applications and available grades.   Cork is not often seen or used within high-end product design, it was therefore impo…

Cork burns without a flame and does not emit toxic gases during combustion.

The main characteristics of cork that we can highlight for application in the energy sector, include its negative contribution in terms of CO2, its resistance to extreme temperatures, chemical compatibility and low thermal conductivity, its resilience, and damping properties.

Cork is one of the world’s most versatile materials, offering environmental, social, and economic benefits. Due to its natural properties and sustainable harvesting, cork solutions contribute significantly to an eco-friendlier future. Cork has become a preferred choice in the flooring industry due to its technical prop…

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…

As well as being more sustainable, CPC offer a series of technical and visual advantages that make them an excellent choice for vehicle interiors.

To help you answer that, we ran the following tests...

1. Acoustic performanceCork’s air-filled cellular structure naturally reduces vibration and structural noise, improving overall acoustic comfort. 2. Thermal resistanceIts low thermal conductivity provides stable thermal behaviour, even at higher temperatures. 3. LightweightWith more than half its volume made of air, co…

Cédric: It's about cork, but not as you know it. Working with the perception of how people look at cork to create a renewed awareness of its richness. Cork is a unique material, but it's mainly used in similar applications - for interior or decorative use. We want to ennoble it, give it an artful touch, by taking advan…

The visual effect wasn’t the main issue. Although, in the case of the Cruise Terminal, since we removed the concrete’s surface layer, the cork appears beneath. This produces a certain roughness and an appearance that I like very much, almost similar to the look of taipa – raw earth used in traditional constructions. Th…

Environmental temperature has a decisive impact on the mechanical and acoustic behavior of rail pads. Conventional rubber pads soften at high temperatures and stiffen excessively at low ones, leading to significant noise variations of up to 6 dB(A). Cork–rubber composites, on the other hand, combine the elasticity of r…

We are still only beginning to understand all the benefits of cork, how to use them, and how to ennoble this material, in line with our design philosophy of “rebirth”. We’ve set up a “cork lab” in our studio in Antwerp, where we push the limits of the material by mixing it with other natural materials, or manipulating…

With high temperatures and humidity ratios, the main challenges of a synthetic turf in Latin America and, in this case, in Peru (Lima), are related to the athletes comfort: technical shock absorption, lower energy restitution, but above all, lower surface temperature in order to avoid health issues. On the other hand,…

Vila de Mora, in the district of Évora, recently welcomed 80 volunteers of Corticeira Amorim who planted 2000 cork oaks, thus increasing the forest area of Portugal's National Tree. Herdade da Barroca, a property of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Mora, was the scene of the initiative that directly involved the community…
