The solution is significant above all on an aesthetic level, because the cork manages to express the image of a natural, biocompatible raw material, in harmony with life. This appears extremely consistent with this type of tool, often used as accessories in holistic disciplines.

But there are also technical aspects which justify the creation of gymnastic equipment, to be used in contact with the body, with this natural element. Cork is structured through closed cells and has important qualities: non-toxic, hypoallergenic, odourless, waterproof, compact, resistant, light, long-lasting, elastic. It is no coincidence that the historic application of cork is that relating to the production of corks for wine bottles.

Il behavior of cork with respect to wet conditions, in our case with respect to perspiration, and the high waterproofing qualities are perhaps the most interesting aspects for our application, both in terms of hygiene and due to the fact that cork does not become slippery. The high grip is in fact an important quality for these tools, a quality that becomes essential in the case of the mat. The 3014 Cork Mat is exceptionally non-slip, indeed, the wetter it gets, the more the grip increases. Excellent thing in all holistic disciplines but especially in hot yoga.
