A visitor to the New York Hall of Science Design Lab is offered design challenges and assorted raw materials for the opportunity to find solutions to real world problems.

For this creative environment, SITU Studio used Capri’s unique AND/OR rubber cork to cover the display structures and as the floor covering within the structure. AND/OR, a unique blend of EPDM granules and cork, is suitable for installations on floors “and/or” walls. As illustrated at the Design Lab, AND/OR has the ability to contour to the display structure and also offers great flooring for the active areas like the Design Lab.

Offered in neutrals to saturated colors, AND/OR is available in multiple thicknesses in rolls, tiles and interlocking tiles. AND/OR flooring offers great slip resistance, good sound absorption, comfort under foot, durability and can handle rolling loads. AND/OR vertically can be used as a tackable surface, wall protection, to wrap columns or doors and as a general use wallcovering.

AND/OR is FloorScore certified and Declare Label status LBC Red List Free.

Other Capri products installed at the Design Lab are Mediterra cork Tumbled on the vertical surfaces in the Sandbox and Re-Tire recycled rubber Bark as the floorcovering around the structure.

Capri Collections offers creative products for creative spaces.
