Cork has so many features and natural attributes that make it an exciting natural material to use. It is a renewable resource from the outer bark of the cork tree which is lightweight, rot resistant, expandable, soft and buoyant. With its honeycomb structure and flexibility, it is often used for flooring, fabric, wall coverings and lots more including lamp shades! It's also known for its acoustical properties.
As part of a collaboration we have used cork to literally carve out space, Levitt Goodman Architects has “created a dialogue about the notion of excavation, peeling away and exposing the viewer to the heightened tactile, olfactory and auditory qualities inherent in the raw material”. The team’s goal: “To create a place of pause within the overwhelming sensory experience of the Interior Design Show.”
