THE PROCESS
CONSUMPTION
Cork is intimately related to another wonder of nature, with a high good-feeling factor, wine. This relation goes back to ancient times. Ancient Greeks were reported to use cork to seal their wine jugs. Cork stoppers remain the most popular choice today despite competition from alternative stoppers.
CO-PRODUCT UPCYCLING
The wine-cork marriage is short-lived, a few months, maybe a few years. This is why recovered cork stoppers are now formulated with bio-based resins to produce design furniture such as stools and chairs. The comfort of the materials and the seamless look, together with the product history (remember this nice glass of wine) create a happy sensation to users.
