SOBRI Cork House: 30 things to do and see
We are SOBRI Porto, a lifestyle brand focused on creating and recycling timeless designs that express our own aesthetic and cultural perception. We are focused on creating unique products and experiences that impact the notion of what it means to be sustainable in a society full of unsustainable actions.
The values, origin and unique characteristics of cork are the foundation of who we are as a brand, and like most of its production, we are proudly made in Portugal.
The SOBRI Cork House is an extension of SOBRI, here we created a new type of accommodation which can be seen as a gallery, showroom or simply as a comfortable space to spend a few days. In this modular space in constant reinvention, everything was carefully selected and conceived to offer a natural comfort sensation, combining the versatility and unique characteristics of cork with other materials, such as wood and steel. The cork house is a space made in Portugal and where the whole atmosphere reflects the philosophy and values of SOBRI, combining unique design pieces and the commitment to offer a unique personalized experience.
Feel free to explore, and enjoy!
Bellow you can find some suggestions to make the most of the city of Porto!
