Offering a 100% sustainable, versatile, and resilient material prized for its myriad applications in architecture, design, spaceships and beyond. No wonder why Humanity has been harvesting the bark of cork oaks for thousands of years.
Cork has always been a part of my life in Portugal. Cork trees are everywhere in the country, and cork is used in many aspects of life there, from boats, in the space industry, sports, sound engineering, internal finishes, insulation, saunas, stamps, furniture, cladding, jewellery, footwear, clothing, and insulation to wine stoppers. The Portuguese industry of cork has been organised for over 300 years and the country is the largest producer of cork in the world.
