"When Amorim commissioned us to participate in the METAMORPHOSIS project to showcase cork’s advantages, it introduced us not only to the material’s potential but also to a family business with 150 years of heritage.
Amorim is a family of industrialists, international operators, innovators. They are proudly Portuguese, who embody their nation’s generosity and global perspective. Like us, they want to change the future for the better and move the game on.
To work with Amorim is a real pleasure and to work with cork is a gift. Cork is an exceptional material – it is natural, reusable, affordable and recyclable. It is luxuriantly tactile, remaining warm in winter and cool in summer. It is lightweight, insulating and absorbs sound, creating acoustically comfortable spaces that people want to be in. With Amorim we explored ways of creating a range of beautiful tonal variations, not by adding a pigment but simply by adjusting the time it was subjected to heat."
