GRANORTE Hall 12 Stand B18
Granorte is exhibiting at the Domotex flooring fair with a stand inspired by the Portuguese National Pavilion built for the 1998 World Exhibition in Lisbon.
Created by famed Italian interior designer, Marco Carini, the Granorte stand pays homage to the Alvaro Siza-designed building and will house a refreshed, more compact collection for 2018. The space will also present a brand-new corporate identity for the cork innovator, as well as provide the platform for launch of a special flooring collection featuring a super- thin Japanese-made polymer film.
Named after the Japanese word meaning healthy, kenko, the collection utilises this 0.25mm thick polymer to provide a durable and easy to maintain wear layer on Granorte engineered cork flooring. PVC and plasticiser free, the use of the polymer marks Granorte’s continued resolve in reducing reliance on plastics.
Paulo Rocha, R&D, Granorte commented: “This year’s Domotex is a significant one for us. Not only for the unveiling of our new look, but also for a significant step-forward in product technology with the introduction of

The synergy between this innovative polymer and cork is an elegant one, cork itself a sustainable, renewable resource that provides interior spaces
