THE OUTDOORS, INDOORS
Kurkasa gives you everything you need to transform your table into a veritable garden; bringing a little of the outdoors, indoors. Start with the versatile base modules and adorn them with your favourite elements.
KURKASA…
… is a very young company, that appreciates very old traditions.
Just like the Japanese bonsai masters, we want you to enjoy pleasant and meditative moments; to bring that feeling of the outdoors, indoors.
BASE MODULES
We currently have nine base modules, each with its own functionality. The use of expanded cork gives the product a robust appearance…
ELEMENTS
We don’t want to limit your creativity in how you use our base modules, but we’ve selected some of our favourite elements…
ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS...
a tree
not just a any tree, but…the
Quercus Suber
better known as the cork oak
Also known as the Sobreiro (in Portugese)
KURKASA MATERIAL
After harvesting the cork, the excess trimmings – the grey outer layer of the bark and the virgin cork – are all collected and ground into tiny pieces. Steam passed through the resin at a temperature of 400°C causes it to become liquid again. All the coarse grains then blend with the natural glue creating a new material which can be used for many different purposes. And this is the moment that Kurkasa really looks forward to.
Together with Pro Suber, Kurkasa has developed a process which improves the quality of the expanded cork. This material is ideal for making beautiful, sustainable, and ecological products.
