Raw natural cork tray #004

Each piece begins as a slab of raw natural cork. Its organic shapes, relief and irregularities result from the cork’s natural growth over the years. Nature creates the material and its forms; my craft reveals the character of each piece.

In my studio, I select and cut the piece from the cork slab and work it through carving: a process of cutting and sculpting with tools suited to this material. I shape the cavity, contours and final design while respecting the cork’s natural form, bark, pores and marks. This gives each piece its unique design.

Material and characteristics

• Raw natural cork.
• A one-of-a-kind piece, cut, carved and shaped by me in my studio.
• Natural variations in shape, colour, texture and porosity.
• Bark, cracks and irregularities are part of each piece’s character.

Cork is a 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable raw material, harvested without felling the cork oak. Its lightness makes the piece easier to move and reposition in your decor. You can reuse it in different arrangements and roles, according to its shape, dimensions and care instructions.

At the end of the piece’s life, also take any finishes and other components into account.
