The Collection Expect the unexpected, Alma Gémea.
"Alma Gémea" is more than a love story. It's a relationship that is improbable yet perfect. It is an experience that elevates all the senses - our human senses and all senses present in Nature - towards complementary universes that unite and prosper. So many unique and beautiful connection points lie in the difference between these two forces - the warmth of cork and the cold of ceramics - that help endow greater truth to the concept "Alma Gémea". This is where love is born.
The "5th Element" collection is a representation of the perfect symbiosis between the four seasons and the four elements (air, water, earth and fire) that, together and involving all their material qualities, unveil the fifth element: cork, symbol of stability, harmony and complete balance with nature.

cork
Sustainable by nature:
Cork is 100 percent natural, reusable and recyclable, whether from the environmental, social or economic perspectives, one of the world’s most versatile materials.
Key Characteristics
-
Excellent Thermal Insulation
The air inside the cells makes it an excellent insulator, leading to very low thermal conductivity, over a wide range of temperatures.
-
Extremely Light and Buoyant
Over 50% of its volume is air, which makes it very light - it weighs just 0.16 grams per cubic centimeter and can float.
-
Hypoallergenic
Because cork does not absorb dust, it helps protect against allergies and does not pose a risk to asthma sufferers.
-
Comfortable and Warm Feeling
The natural texture of cork combines softness and flexibility to the touch with a naturally uneven surface. The variable degree of irregularity is given by the type of cork used and the finish chosen.
-
Impermeable to Liquids and Gases
Thanks to the suberin and ceroids contained in the cell walls, cork is practically impermeable to liquids and gases. Its resistance to moisture enables it to age without deteriorating.
-
High Friction Resistance and Good Resilience
Cork is extremely resistant to abrasion and has a high friction coefficient. Thanks to its honeycomb structure, its resistance to impact or friction is greater than that of other hard surfaces.
