Cork becomes a landscape across the wall
GENCORK shapes expanded cork into repeating wall panels. The digital model describes the ridges and valleys before the material is cut. Installed together, the panels carry a relief across a whole wall, changing the way side light falls on the surface.
PT PortugalIn practice. Computational patterns and digital fabrication turn expanded cork into tactile wall surfaces.
What to keep in view
Test results for one panel and installation should not be applied to every cork wall.
A surface designed through its depth
The design has a different effect at arm’s length than it does across a room. Look at a built interior to see where joints disappear into the pattern and where the shape is interrupted by an opening. Acoustic performance needs separate evidence for the specific assembly.
