A new perspective on cork
Cork by Amorim - Curated by ExperimentadesignA different insight into cork
MATERIA cork by Amorim curated by Experimentadesign is a collection of everyday objects produced in cork.

MATERIA, Cork by Amorim
MATERIA, a collection of objects for daily use made of cork and in which the design assumes a fundamental role, was born from the challenge laid down by Corticeira Amorim to Experimentadesign for the exploration of new approaches to cork. In some pieces, cork is complemented by other materials, but is always the main character. The project was presented in 2011, in Milan, with a total of 12 objects developed by studios and designers of seven nationalities. Since then, it has been growing and the goal is to continue to expand, with the regular launch of new pieces.
