Cork Furniture

Cork furniture is back — and for good reason: Renewable, recyclable, lightweight, inexpensive and warm, it seems to have no downside.

The versatile material has cycled in and out of fashion in furniture and interior design since its mid-century heyday, when visionary creators from Edward Wormley to Frank Lloyd Wright used it in some of their most famous work.

Today, the wheel has turned once more in cork’s favor, as designers trend toward more eco-friendly options. In addition to its aforementioned attributes and the fact that it is waterproof and highly insulating, the cork oak trees (native to Portugal and Spain) from whose bark it is made are unharmed by the harvesting.

Cork, in short, is more than just a convenient bottle stopper. As the environmental impact becomes an increasingly important consideration, furniture designers are turning to the material in droves.
