Cork and Design

See the cork otherwise...

Cork is a material that has gone unnoticed for years. When we think of cork we think maily of the ones used on wine bottles but besides being extremly useful for that purpose there is also a wide array of other objects it can be used on. Besides being a natural material cork is also waterproof, comfortable to the touch and has great thermal and acoustic insulation. It is also a very lightweight material. Lately we're beggining to see cork used in furniture and other house appliances such as bowls, baskets, lamps and so on. It's also being explored as a raw material for the fashion industry and there are already lots of acessories made of cork being marketed. Still there is a lot more potential in cork waiting to be explored.
