Momentum has partnered with global cork innovator Muratto, officially launching the eponymous Muratto Collection of acoustic wallcoverings today. Made of 100% natural, PVC-free cork, the collection merges acoustic benefits, impactful design, and environmental stewardship.
Available in 20+ formats of panels, blocks, strips, and tiles in a wide range of colors, the collection provides designers with flexibility to create bold focal points or clean, minimalist applications across hospitality, workplace, and healthcare environments. The collection consists of 2 product lines:
-Organic Blocks: Sculptural, high-relief surfaces inspired by forms ranging from beehives to Cubist art, adding rich texture and depth to walls
-Primecork: A refined, smoother surface option that delivers a soft, sophisticated backdrop
Beyond its acoustic and aesthetic properties, the Muratto Collection offers numerous performance and environmental advantages:
Renewable and Biodegradable: Harvested without harming cork oak trees, cork supports healthy, long-lived forests that are vital ecosystems for biodiversity. It is also fully biodegradable and recyclable.
Zero-waste philosophy: Every cork fragment is repurposed to minimize environmental impact. Scraps are used to produce new patterns, and several designs were intentionally created to incorporate them as striking visual elements.
Anti-microbial and Antistatic: Cork contributes to healthier indoor environments by naturally resisting mold, mildew, allergens, and pests. Its antistatic surface also helps to reduce dust absorption and improve air quality.
Thermal Insulation: Cork’s cellular structure traps gas, making it an exceptional insulator for temperature in addition to sound.
Durable: Highly resistant to moisture/water, fire, cracking, abrasions, and decay, ensuring lasting performance.
