Bacia Grande - Daniel Michalik
$375
8"h x 24"w x 24"d
100% Recycled Cork
These cork bowls and dishes were inspired by the traditional drinking vessel used by cork harvesters to stay hydrated in the hot, arid forests where cork trees grow. Bacia Grande is made completely from the waste material of bottle-stopper production. At over 60cm in diameter, it is a single-piece cork vessel on a dramatic scale. After several generations of re-constitution, cork maintains a tactile presence and warmth in the hand. I am fascinated by the fact that while the material is wholly ecological, it is above all a seductive and luxurious material, green or otherwise. Currently in the showroom.

Onda - Daniel Michalik
$265
22"h x 22"w x 0.4"d
Recycled Cork, Birch plywood
"Onda" is a 60cm x 60cm modular wall panel. Each panel consists of a single, compound-bent reversible plane, convex on one side and concave on the other, set into a simple frame flush with the sides.When a group of panels are hung together, they create a dramatic,three-dimensional rolling landscape along the wall. Because cork ishighly sound absorbent, Onda is ideal for large public spaces such as restaurants or hotels. In addition it can serve as a surface to pin sketches and papers to, making it ideal for use in the home or creative workspaces. They can be hung one by one, or tiled together to cover an entire wall. In addition to cork’s natural sound absorbency, it is also fire-resistant and resistant to all types of rot, mold and bacterial growth. Naturally.
