The use of cork material has become quite popular with furniture designers, yet the products that come out of the eco-friendly stuff tend to remain quite simplified in form. The Chaise Cork is a truly contemporary lounger that gives the tree-derived substance some sculptural treatment.
D'arc.Studio's chair comes in five separate segments that can be joined together into a solid and sturdy recliner by means of gaps and tabs between them. The process of assembling these components is like putting together a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, with the final result as a smooth and sinuous upper surface. Inspired by the spinal column, the Chaise Cork is guaranteed to offer optimal comfort for those occasions when you simply need to kick back.
