Reader Submitted: CORCRETE Merges Recycled Cork and Concrete
CORCRETE© is a material development by DESIGN STUDIO NIRUK based on the combination of two contradicting materials—concrete and recycled cork. It’s visually and texturally unusual surface is a mixture of natural warmth and modern coolness—cold meets warm, hard becomes soft. The material is light and vibrant—objects and surfaces made out of CORCRETE© have an individual, intimate look and feeling. The material is available for different architectural and design applications in three colours - grey-cork, black-cork, white-cork.
The design duo Nina Ruthe-Klein and David Antonin designed tiles and furniture from CORCRETE, and the material was presented at fairs in Stockholm, Cologne, Leipzig and Kortrijk in 2016.
