Discover for yourself how trendy and happening cork is!
Eric Kuster chooses cork
Interior designer Eric Kuster is convinced of the possibilities cork offers and has integrated the natural material into his own collection. With cork, the designer creates a design that exudes luxury without compromising the natural and robust qualities. Kuster: "Cork matches our atmosphere, it goes well with wood and is excellent to combine with for example satin and chrome. The contrast between the materials is both sexy and tough".
Cork in the club
Last weekend the club "Jimmy Woo" was reopened in Amsterdam. The club has been completely redecorated according to the creative design of owner Casper Reinders. He has chosen to use cork for the walls in "Jimmy's". The result is stunning. The combination of suede sofas and antique furniture with cork gives the club a challenging and raw look.
Translate the trend at home
The trend to use cork for interior design can very easily be translated into the home situation. Cork floorings and walls are available in a huge number of varieties and sizes. Mix and match cork with materials like bronze, wood, suede and chrome for a tough interior, just like Eric Kuster and Casper Reinders. Play with light and decorate with flowers for a natural effect. Even for people who prefer a more modest home interior, cork offers plenty of options.
