cork family
Design Jasper Morrison, 2004
Turned natural cork
Made in Germany by Vitra
Three small friends, robustly built, stable, individual in character and lovable in appearance, that's the Cork Family. Whether as side tables or as stools, the three different brothers benefit from the advantageous properties of the natural material cork - it is comparatively light, enormously tough and has a pleasant soft feel. Available in three models.
Jasper Morrison's objects provide a quiet contrast to the creative exuberance of the Eighties. The visual restraint, high functionalism and constructive simplicity attract attention to his work.
13" h | 12.25" dia.
$610.00 + free shipping in the continental U.S.
(usually ships in 2-4 weeks)

Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison (b. 1959) is an English product and furniture designer from London. He received a Bachelor of Design degree from Kingston Polytechnic Design School in 1982 and a Masters degree in Design from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1985. He also studied at the Berlin University of the Arts, formerly the Hochschule der Künste (HdK). While a student, he gained a keen interest in modernist pioneers, such as Buckminster Fuller, Gerald Summers, Jean Prouvé and Le Corbusier. Morrison's objects provide a quiet contrast to the creative exuberance of the Eighties. The visual restraint, high functionalism and constructive simplicity attract attention to his work.
Vitra is a Swiss company dedicated to improving the quality of homes, offices and public spaces through the power of design. Following in the tradition of Charles & Ray Eames, who have influenced Vitra's approach to sustainability in many ways, product longevity is central to the company's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection.

Attractive and well made
AK, more than a month ago.
We brought two cork stools (to add to the one we already had) and love them. They are great décor elements and are constantly used by both children and adults in the house. The quality of Vitra products is unmatchable. The Hive Modern service is excellent.
