FRONT has designed CornWall®, a wall-finishing material made from plant-based biomass.

CornWall® is sourced primarily from the cores of regional (Western Europe) corn cobs.

This organic waste is widely available and usually destined for fermentation, burning as biomass or remaining on the field.

CornWall® is an alternative for ceramic wall cladding or other less sustainable composite materials such as HPL.

The dimensions are tight, making it suitable for CNC milling; the tiles are suitable for interior and furniture applications.

This project has been shortlisted in the material innovation category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
