Well maybe not the new plastic, but cork is getting more and more versatile - check this chaise out. Since cork is the renewable bark of the cork oak tree, this lounge is all about sustainability + design. The cork as we know it is the bark of the cork tree. From what I understand, the cork tree gets stripped of its cork, then allowed to grow back so there’s no dead tree and guilty conscious. Kind of like how a sheep is sheered for wool.
This chaise, designed by Daniel Michalik, looks like it’s gotta be either really comfortable or the exact opposite. I don’t know how stable it is but I wouldn’t mind grabbing a good book and giving it a go. The description says its bouyant so maybe you can plop it in a pool or a lake and drift to sleep although at $4,988 maybe it should remain dry.
The Cortica Chaise Lounge is available at Branch - Sustainable Design for Living.
