Basic info

  • What is it: a building “block”
  • Material: Cork, but the material is subject to the Ikego standard tolerance. But it works best for its original applications, though, when it is lightweight and has a surface that isn’t very smooth like cork, for instance. | More on materials below

Make this part

  • Instructions:
    • Korki is best built with a soft surface—for example, cork itself. Cork creates a warm, soft feel. At the same time, it adds friction to the surface, allowing multiple Korki pieces to stick together well when connected.
    • The prototype had a rigid foam core covered with glued-on cork leather. If enough cork is available (such as injected cork or solid cork), it can also be made entirely out of cork.
    • The feet were covered with a thin layer of PU foam to achieve an anti-slip effect. Korki worked very well in this design. However, other designs and variations are certainly conceivable and possible.
