GENCORK is a brand of cork covering solutions that explores the symbiosis between a low-tech material and high-tech processes.

The 700% natural and sustainable expanded cork agglomerate is transformed through generative design algorithms and advanced digital fabrication processes, expressing a new formal aesthetics.

This creative and disruptive system not only optimises cork’s thermal and acoustic properties, but also adds artistic value to traditional walls.

The CORKOPTICAL panel plays with the visual illusion and form perception. Inspired by the optical art of Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley, this magic pattern foments visual play between 2D and £d worlds. It’s a complex geometric grid deformation that creates a set of new spatial perspectives.
