The Suber project
- - Our philosophy
    - Design cannot neglect the object’s function and the material of which it is made.
  - The project
    - New aesthetics accessible to all those who want to change the patterns of production and consumption.
  - People
    - People, their thoughts and their actions can contribute to change the World.
  - Amorim Cork Italia
    - Amorim Cork Italia is the Italian branch of the Amorim Group and it is a leading company in the production and sale of high-quality corks.
- Suber is an aesthetic experimentation project that arises from two crucial concepts: the first is that our wellbeing depends on that of the planet and the second is that raw materials will be increasingly precious.
The ethical revolution
- - A shared responsibility
    - The Suber Project ideally interprets the modern concept of circular economy.
  - Made in Italy objects that look to the future
    - Suber is entirely Made in Italy, from the design to the finished product and ready for sale.
  - The non-profit organizations of the Ethical Project
    - Respect the environment, help those in need and reduce Co2 emissions.
  - The origin
    - Suber: an evolved project that originates in the DNA of Amorim Cork Italia company.
  - The role of the wineries
    - Cork begins its journey from these places of excellence and returns there in the form of special interior design objects.
  - Cork
    - Cork brings its distinctive characteristics to the world of design; its color, its perfume, its perception to the soft and porous touch, for interior design objects with strong sensory expressiveness.
The aesthetics of the future
- - New aesthetics
    - An era of design where form does not derive only from function, but from matter itself.
  - The Core
    - A totally natural, soft and light material capable of acquiring sinuous shapes and rigorous geometries. CORE is a very versatile material and, in the formal dialogue with other natural materials such as steel and glass, it finds its maximum aesthetic expression.
  - Working
    - The processing of the CORE requires specific technology and refined manual skills.
- Natural, ecological and versatile, cork is starting to be present in the world of design; its ductile and multifaceted qualities open new frontiers in the imagination of new shapes and lines. “Aesthetics is the mother of ethics.” JOSEPH BRODSKY

The Suber project

The project

Nothing is lost, everything is transformed

The Suber Project was born as a natural development of the Ethical Project, a recycling program that, since 2011, has involved non-profit organizations in Italy in the collection of used cork stoppers to give them a second life. Used cork stoppers are processed and transformed into a powder that is combined with natural resins to give life to Core, a new generation composite material with extraordinary technical and aesthetic features.

Entirely natural, reusable and recyclable without any waste or scrap, cork is a material that completely satisfies the growing ecological awareness of contemporary society.

Suber focuses on the properties of this material that is widely used to protect wine. It evolves and returns to be part of everyday life in the form of modern interior design objects of a unique style resulting from the successful combination of cork with other natural materials.
It’s a new conception that originates new aesthetics, accessible to all those who want to change the patterns of production and consumption. In this context, Suber is not just a collection of interior design objects that includes tables, stools, lamps and coat hangers. but it represents an exciting challenge taken up by Jari Franceschetto, an emerging Italian creative and artistic director of the project.
