Expanko Cork
Harvested every nine years, the bark of the cork oak tree long has been used for wine stoppers. Expanko makes designs that can only be described as show stoppers. Our designs far surpass anything else on the market. Various thicknesses and custom sizes provide flexibility. Our new floating product interlocks without glue. Unique patterns include stripes and mosaics, along with the richest classic solids. Prominent corporations (American Eagle, UPMC, Corning) universities (Pitt, University Club), churches (St John and Paul, Shadyside Presbyterian) and restaurants (Soba in Shadyside, Eleven in the Strip District) are just some of the many applications for our cork.. Our very green roster continues with recycled rubber flooring in a sophisticated palette and a cork and rubber product. Call us for a presentation and samples. The quiet resilience and timeless aesthetic (see Fallingwater) of cork finds its fullest expression in Expanko. www.expanko.com

Artek / Alvar Aalto
After living with and loving our Aalto web chairs for the last 25 years we thought that the Artek line (that manufactures the classic Alvar Aalto designs) would be a great choice for our first commercial furniture line.
Artek was founded in 1935 by four young idealists, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. The business idea of the company was "to sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of habitation by exhibitions and other educational means." The founders of Artek advocated a new kind of environment for everyday life. They believed in a grand synthesis of the arts and wanted to make a difference in town planning as well as architecture and design.
Today Artek is renowned as being one of the most innovative contributors to modern design, building on the heritage of Alvar Aalto. Functionality and timeless aesthetics are the essential elements in the creation of every product that bears the Artek name. Artek's furniture can be found in various types of spaces; from public spaces to homes, museums to schools and hotels to offices. www.artekfurniture.us

Parterre
The idea of vinyl wood planks may have you scratching your head but once you take a look at the Parterre line you will find a great solution to a flooring predicament. For 20 years Parterre's designs have replicated the beauty of stone, wood (UPMC Standard) and metallic surfaces in a luxury vinyl product. Made from 40% recycled material (hello LEED points) they are recyclable into new material at the end of their (perhaps 25 yr.) life on the floor. Low maintenance and low prices make this line ideal for those times when the real material product is impractical or too expensive. www.parterreflooring.com
