SOBRO is a Portuguese brand of objects and furniture in agglomerated cork, exploring the properties of a material that evokes an emotional and ancestral heritage in which touch, plasticity and lightness are its main characteristics.

Inspired by the manual processes, it explores solutions based on the manipulation of the material, in which it is transformed from a flat to a three-dimensional base, at the same time testing the limitations of the material, supported by artisanal tools and techniques, using elementary geometric shapes and simplified processes, going beyond the traditional offer of cork products.
