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

Cork

A sustainable material, a precious gift from Nature

Cork is an entirely natural, renewable, recyclable, biodegradable material; one of the most sustainable materials on the planet. A precious gift of nature to be protected and preserved which enjoys an excellent reputation in the green world.

Cork is obtained from the bark of the cork tree in a process known as decortication: after the first 25 years, the decortication is performed cyclically every 9 years for a total of approximately 17 times, fully respecting the tree. In fact, the treatment does not cause any damage to the tree as it will reform its bark. The most popular use of cork is to be a sort of seal for the wine bottles; despite not being able to recycle corks with the same function, they can take thousands of new shapes. Cork is used in a range of industries from design to green building, from the footwear industry to the aerospace field.
The cork oak forests play a fundamental role in fighting the growing CO2 emissions caused by human activities. In particular, it is estimated that each hectare of forest has the ability to eliminate about 14.7 tons of Co2 from the environment. The importance of cork oak forests is further demonstrated by the ability of these trees to regulate the hydrological cycle, protect the soil from erosion and fires and promote biodiversity.

Cork is a material that brings its distinctive characteristics to the world of design; its color, its scent, and its soft and porous perception to the touch blend together to create a unique harmony for creating special interior design objects.

2,1 million

This is the measurement in hectares of the largest cork forest in the world and it is in Portugal. It is a candidate to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
