Application of an innovative cork-based material for shower trays
Cosmic, 2018
To make one more shower tray, we better not do anything that the market is already saturated.
A disruptive attitude as a starting point for the development of R&D that would make it possible to create the most innovative and naturalized bathroom experience possible. With the aim of proposing a new sensory dimension to the shower, a composite of cork and nitrile rubber, resistant to humidity and non-slip, is introduced. The possibilities of finishing and colorimetry were experimented with in order to cover the design scenarios required by the brand. The non-slip and safety requirements were achieved to guarantee the maximum safety of the product. But on the other hand, we were not able to pass the tests of the non-compulsory standard for this type of product, but which, on the other hand, are generally claimed by the contract sector, and the product did not go ahead.
