Cortica Lounge / DMFD

Cortica Lounge

by Daniel Michalik for DMFD via Voos.

25"h x 20"w x 70" 100% Recycled Cork

This chaise lounge (along with the other work in this series) is made completely from cork that originates as the waste material from the bottle stopper industry. Cork has tremendous potential to perform in ways unlike any other material, as well as being an environmentally responsible material.

This piece shows the materials ability to bend in two directions simultaneously, creating complex three-dimensional forms laminated from a flat sheet. The pliability of the material allows the user of this lounge to rock gently from side to side or on her back with a great degree of stability.

The result is a sensation of floating, weightless and totally supported.

Â New building approaches, from carbon eating concrete to sustainable grids and solar, waste management and integrated systems, are changing the impact buildings create.

Benefiting organizations will include, Architecture for Humanity, Inveneo, and others as determined on a grant or VC basis by a panel of selected experts.
