GRANORTE
Granorte manufacturers cork floors and other products in Portugal, where it has been finding new ways to use the waste cork from wine stopper production since 1972. Granorte takes this natural material and manufactures a range of highly sustainable flooring options. In its purest form – the glue-down tiles of Tradition – this makes a Granorte floor made from 90% recycled and rapidly renewable natural resources. There are few other floors that are suitable for commercial use that have this status. Even with its engineered floating floors using Uniclic, Granorte achieves up to 80% renewable natural materials status.

The Faculty of Arts building at University of Warwick, designed by FCBStudios, is a light-filled, timber-lined space formed around an imposing staircase clad in Junckers’ solid ash flooring. The stairs rise from a base of amphitheatre seating to connect areas for teaching, social learning, public exhibition, and departmental spaces that all branch off. The staircase forms the main route through the building and provides inviting and flexible spaces. Junckers’ solid ash has excellent strength properties and makes a hard-wearing, long-lasting floor. The unique grain structure of ash makes it a characterful floor with distinct colour tones, with a capacity to reflect an abundance of natural light for an ideal flooring choice.

Thonet’s S 32 cantilever chair by Marcel Breuer is one of the most popular and recognisable pieces of tubular steel furniture. The new S 32 lounge chair version combines architectural lines, a distinctive design and yielding comfort. Placed next to a sofa, this lower level model can make the perfect addition to a relaxing lounge area or can make a statement in co-working breakout spaces, reception areas or private homes. The seat height of 40cm means it can harmonise easily with other lounge furniture and to further enhance ergonomics, the seat has been widened to 58cm and is tilted slightly backwards.

PARKSIDE
The Principle collection from Parkside and Alusid is the world’s first mass-produced 95% recycled- content tile. With a tile body made entirely from by-products of other manufacturing processes, Principle is based on technology that has taken a bold leap from a small batch production to a fully scalable process. Made by adapting the tile body to work in standard ceramic production facilities, Principle achieves a similar like-for-like cost as other twice-fired tiles.
