Lesson of the day : how to transform cork in flooring
and walls.
Better than learning from books, learning
from experience. So direction Amorim Revestimentos factory ! Mariana was so
kind to show us around. It was very nice to see how they make everything from
the grain to the board. Now we have a clear idea of what material is going to
be on our floors… cork for sure! They have so many options that we had a hard
time choosing the one we wanted when we got back to the studio, but finally
we did it.

extra thin layer of cork made by slicing a big block of cork that was made by pressing different corkpieces together. That's what gives this special pattern. |
