Founded in 2011 by Nina Ruthe<\/strong> near Cologne – since 2013 also joined by David Antonin<\/strong> – Niruk design studio<\/em><\/a> experiments with and develops new ideas and methods, always trying to find the most appropriate materials and tools. The designers have created a real Material Lab, where they devote themselves every day to the theme of form and materiality, creating new products. “We want to understand the things around us. Experimenting and immersing ourselves in processes is the basis with which we create new designs. We take existing things as inspiration, combine them and create new ones\u201d<\/em>. – says Niruk. (Cover Corcrete, ph. Thomas Wiuf Schwartz)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided by curiosity and intuition, Nina Ruthe and David Antonin develop an exciting materiality in their designs. One example is Corcrete<\/strong>, part of WeVux’s new and free Materials Design Map<\/a><\/em>, a material created by combining two resources with contrasting qualities, cork and concrete. Over the years the material has been refined and the process patented, in 2016 it won the Biennial Interieur Kortrijk Award,<\/em> the Green Product Award<\/em> and the Green Product Traders Award<\/em> in Stockholm. This year Corcrete also won the German Design Award 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
