The Korko Selection results from the most careful selection of household design objects. Inspired by contemporary design in which elegance is allied with function and aesthetics is combined with practicality, this collection is harmoniously integrated into the day-to-day life of a home. Ranging from kitchen utensils and tools to items that simplify routines, all Korko Selection products stem from a unique process striving to attain the perfect object.

The nine Korko Selection products are desiged in an imaginative and responsible manner due to the main raw material being cork, which is a reusable and recyclable 100% natural material. Thus, this combination of cork and other materials inspires a unique collection of exclusive design objects that will suit your house to perfection. Discover the true meaning of the expression ‘beyond

premium’.

CTRL+X cutting boards do exactly what their name indicates: cutting foodstu�s and transporting them to a holding recipient. The boards are made from cork agglomerate and, thanks to their special design, provide a recipient that holds the cut food as you slice. Furthermore, as cork represents such a resilient material, your knives will not experience any form of damage. Thus, beyond simply and e�ectively cutting and storing your choice of food, this also ends

another of the binds of kitchen life – blunt chopping knives.

This piece combines a cutting board and a bowl to enable food and salads to be cut directly into the bowl. After first use, clarity shall prevail in your kitchen and in your

first option when choosing a kitchen utensil.

Cork is a wonderful insulator and it is this characteristic that makes it such a common hot pot stand option for hot objects. Thus, apart incorporating the material’s special properties, we have decided to include an additional feature which ensures that MATRYOSHKA FEVER is a unique hot pot stand as it also serves as a tray. Furthermore, by adding various and di�erent diameters to its inner section, we guarantee the support provided to pots of all sizes.Therefore, you are now able to elegantly transport all hot recipients from your kitchen to your chosen place of serving and dining, with

just one single object.

else quite like it.

KEEP IT COOL is a wine cooler made from agglomerated cork and ceramic and is cool for various reasons. Apart from fulfilling its core purpose, keeping the wine cold due to the properties of cork as a perfect insulator, the design provides a current take on Portuguese ceramic traditions. There is also a place for a cork stopper should you wish to close your bottle again and thereby ensuring the wine retains its original properties.

Cool!

ABOUT CORK

AF_Catalogo_KorkoSelection_ING5F.indd 26 1/14/13 5:02 PM

Page 27: Amorim Catalogue Korko Collection

Cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree, Quercus Suber L, a species natural to southwest Europe and northwest Africa, an area covering practically 2.7 million hectares in extent. The cork oak is a slow growing tree that may live for 200 years, which allows it, on average, to be stripped 16 times over the course of its lifespan, making cork a truly inexhaustible natural resource. The first harvest takes place only when the tree turns 25 years old, and then every subsequent 9 years. Highly skilled men wielding special axes apply traditional skills dating back many hundreds of years to strip away the tree’s bark. Cork is harvested on a sustainable basis and does not harm the tree in any way. The bark grows back completely while taking on a smoother texture

after each harvest.

Cork is a material with many long treasured properties. It has a unique cellular structure that cannot be technologically replicated. Some 50% of cork is captive air, which results in excellent buoyancy, compressibility, elasticity, a high degree of impermeability to both air and water and low thermal

conductivity, which also makes it a great insulator.

Korko Selection is a brand belonging to Amorim Cork Composites, an Amorim Group business unit, the world leader in cork production, with a history stretching back to 1870. The Corticeira Amorim track record has thereby long since been characterised by the adoption and strengthening of business practices geared toward sustainable development. In addition to processing a 100% natural and recyclable product, by harvesting cork bark without cutting down trees, the company actively contributes to the preservation and viability of cork oak forests, both in Portugal and abroad. The cork oak tree plays a key role in capturing CO

2,

in preserving biodiversity and in combating desertification.

In 2009, the group won the European Commission’s Motor Challenge Program due to its sustained energy e®ciency improvements. The changes implemented have prevented the emission of 238 tons of CO

2 per year and contributed to a decrease in energy

consumption. Our certifications also demonstrate our continuous commitment and e�ort towards establishing better practices. Indeed, we were the first cork industry company to be FSC (Forest

Stewardship Council) certified.
