You must have seen cork as a bottle stopper and some of the crafty designers have even turned it into pendant lighting units in the past. But if you love furniture made out of cork specifically or love any furniture that is both sustainable and planet-friendly, then this will make a fine addition to your home or office. The latest product from London-based designer is the Pushpin Cork Stool, which he has designed for Cooima. The stool takes its form from a Pushpin and can even multi-task as it can both act as a stool and as a side table when you simply flip it over.
Since cork is both light as a material and fire resistant, you will have no problem with the handling of the stool. Inspired by the design of the Pushpin, it even looks like a giant piece in a game of chess from a distance! The fact that it can double up so easily as a coffee table also makes it a pretty good purchase. A must have for anyone who has a thing for cork furniture…
Most modern designs are about achieving the best possible combination of style and effectiveness and the Pushpin Cork Stool surely is a hit on both counts. It comes with an unassuming look and yet manages to draw your attention with that very form. The design is ergonomic, easy to use and should fit in with most modern décor, unless you are going for that futuristic look that is clad in ‘all-metal’. Even then it can find a place among your patio furniture with ease.
