Porto 1 is an acoustically absorptive composite cork wall system composed of 1’-4” (40.6 cm) square tiles produced with waste material from wine stopper production. The resulting product is 93% recycled cork produced in a waste-free moulding process. Named after the Portuguese city known for its cork factories, the design of Porto 1 tiles is inspired by the familiar texture of rounded silos on factory buildings. Tiles may be oriented horizontally or vertically to provide sound softening and pattern.
