E Uiga ia Cork Block Sofa

Cork Block o se sofa fa'aputuputu na faia mai i le pa'u pusa toe fa'aaogaina. O le mea faitino e tu'ufa'atasia le tama'i penu pa'u pusa ma le polyurethane, e toe fa'aaogaina uma ma fa'apipi'i fa'atasi i se fa'apipi'i i totonu o se fa'ata u'amea i lalo o le mamafa ma le vevela. O poloka e maua mai ai e fa'atasi, malemale ma manaia le pa'i i ai. E iva poloka e fai ai le fa'atulagaga o le nofoa e tasi ma sefulutolu poloka e fai ai le fa'atulagaga o le nofoa lua. O poloka e tipi i ni foliga e ono, o lea e mafai ai ona tele tu'ufa'atasiga. O poloka filifilia e mafai ona sui i ni fa'atagata ufiufi i lanu eseese. O lagolago mo le tua ma lima e mafai ai ona tele tulaga o le mafanafana.

Pepa Fa'asalalau

Fa'amaoniaga, sui o le 'au ma fa'amatalaga fa'atekinisi na saunia e le tagata mamanu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa: The cork agglomerate, results from a composition of cork granulate with polyurethane,both recycled and consolidated through compression, heat and the use of a binder inside a metal mold. The physical, elastic and tactile quality of the material and the possibility to add upholstery solutions with different colors, provides several different confort and ambience solutions, achieving diferent supports to the coccyx, back and arms, for different effective comfort levels.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: Width 120 or 180cm x Height 57cm and Depth 90cm
Fa'ailoga: Sofa, Seat, Furniture, Cork, Recycled
Tekonolosi Gaosiga: A agglomerate from cork granulate and polyurethane, both recycled and consolidated with a binder, is launched inside a metal mold with 90 x 90 x 38cm, and subjected to pressure and temperature, allowing at the end a compression strength of 100, a recovery of 70 and a weight of 230kg pcm.
This blocks of physical, elastic and tactile quality material, are usually used only for technical acoustic solutions, are cutted allowing six types blocks, intended to combine for two different sofa solutions.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: It was necessary to find a binding agent that could merge the recycled cork and plastic particles granting the volume a degree of elasticity and comfort in the sitting position in order to achieve the proper stability and the durability needed for its use. After that first step, finding the right proportions and a reduced number of pieces/bricks needed to assemble each model became a fun but challenging game.
Su'esu'ega: The cork agglomerate by Amorim Composits, from recycled cork granulate particle size 2 to 3 mm with polyurethane, generates a rectangular block resulting from the above described operation with 90 x 90 x 19 cm. Its cohesion, elasticity and overlap adherence, suggested the possibility of composing a set of nine blocks of different shapes for a sofa.
In indoor spaces, some volumes can be replaced by identical ones covered with fabric of different colors and with a more flexible interior.
Fa'aosofia: The observation of nature, where the cork oak tree has a strong sculptural volumetry, the technological possibility of recycling cork and the technology employed that allows an adequate degree of elasticity for the new agglomerate designated by reference 5058, naturally gave space to imagine a diversified association of nine blocks that build the single sheet sofa and of thirteen blocks for the double seet layout. Other combinations appeared during the process, which is not closed but rather available for each user design experiences.
Umi o le Poloketi: The project started in February 2018 and finished in October 2020, both in Lisbon.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega: The rectangular blocks of the Cork Block Sofa are cut in different shapes, allowing it to have several combinations, intended to combine in several shapes and sitting positions. The physical, elastic and tactile quality of the material and the possibility to add upholstery solutions with different colors, provides several diferent confort and ambience solutions, achieving diferent supports to the coccyx, back and arms, for different effective comfort levels.
