Concurso “Cork Competition” por el Domaine de Boisbuchet
Nuestros amigos del Domaine de Boisbuchet, organizador de los increíbles cursos de veranos en Francia y parte del Vitra Design Museum estan organizando un concurso que explora el futuro del corcho. Aquí la info:
Cork is probably one of the few sustainable materials still open to explore in terms of its high performance and characteristics.
A surprising raw material that is:
100% natural
100% recyclable and
100% renewable
With truly exceptional characteristics such as:
Triple insulation: vibratory, thermal and acoustic
Resistance to high temperature
Permeability to liquids
Flexibility, compressibility
Lightness
We invite you to participate in this competition and ask you to conceive and develop new applications for cork products or the improvement of existing products with cork.
