One-of-a-kind pieces: the shape suggested by cork

Some cork fragments suggest a shape before I begin working on them. A curve, a raised area or the thickness of the bark can become the starting point for a bowl or tray.

Observing what makes each fragment different

I select each fragment individually, looking for the qualities, thickness, density and texture best suited to the piece I intend to create. Bark, pores, cracks and variations in tone are part of the character I aim to preserve as I work by hand.

The choice of cavity and contours grows from that observation, together with the use and presence I want to give the object.

Shaping each piece

In my studio, I cut, carve and shape the cork by hand. The work reveals the final form, and the material's features help guide each decision.

A one-of-a-kind piece preserves the identity of the fragment it came from. Dimensions, openings and profiles vary between pieces and are shown on each product page.

A place in everyday life

These pieces can combine practical use with decorative character. Shape and size help determine a suitable use. Care should follow the guidance on each product page.

From studies of form to results

The process includes experiments with cavities, contours and the relationship between the bark and the cork's interior. I work on the details and adjust the piece until I reach the intended result. These photographs document different moments of that work.
