Cork: The Underrated Material You Need More of in Your Home

When you hear the word “cork,” you probably think of wine, an office board or Birkenstocks. To us, cork is the underdog of materials. It’s a natural, sustainable material that doesn’t just keep your wine fresh, your notes on a board or your feet comfortable. We love how emerging brands and designers are utilizing cork to create a variety of modern objects, like coasters, vases, trays, planters, even salt and pepper shakers! It’s a more playful material than wood that still adds an element of natural warmth to your home. Here are some of our favorite cork-crafted pieces to add to your home accessories collection.
