Daniel Michalik Elevates Eco-Friendly Cork in Forest for the Trees
Briefly

Cork is infinitely recyclable and offers features like fire resistance, buoyancy, and hydrophobic properties. Daniel Michalik's exhibition highlights furniture that utilizes cork, some pieces creating a balance between solidity and lightness. The collection emphasizes sustainability, featuring items made from reclaimed materials such as wine corks and upcycled skateboards. The design process reflects a relationship between humans and nature, prompting viewers to rethink furniture materials. New pieces include the Cortiça Chaise Longue and Striated Seats, showcasing innovative uses of cork and promoting responsible stewardship of the environment.
Cork represents a symbiotic relationship, illustrating a material that doesn't require the felling of trees. This allows forests to live on while we practice responsible stewardship.
