Sofalca

We bring quality, innovation and sustainability.
The perfect material for a sustainable home.

The Young Design Generation 3rd edition exhibition starts today.

This exhibition brings together the 20 finalist projects from the Open Call YDG’26, showing the diverse approaches that are redefining the design today.

Sofalca, Blackcork and Gencork support this event by providing raw expanded cork blocks, cork benches and corkahedron.

It is an open event that will last from May 27th to August 27th, in MUDE Lisboa.

London studio Office S*M has used cork as cladding, insulation and flooring in this mansard extension to a house in Walthamstow, which is enlivened by bright yellow details.

Aptly named Cork Loft, the extension has created space for an additional bedroom and bathroom, marking the first phase of a wider renovation of the Victorian terraced home.

The homeowners tasked Office S*M with prioritising sustainability in its material choices, which led the studio to "exploring how far cork could go" and using it to replace traditional building materials wherever possible.
