As Milan Design Week comes to a close, we’re revisiting highlights from Cork Collective’s Casa Cork by David Rockwell — a visionary showcase celebrating the sustainability and design potential of cork. From a sculptural tieback crafted from cork to the leather piping on a cork-upholstered banquette, we were honored to contribute inventive details to this forward-thinking installation.
Visitors entered through a creative curtain, swept aside by two Custom tassel tiebacks, artfully composed of cork molds and fringe that set the tone for the imaginative space beyond.
The Leather Piping in Cobalt traces the edges of a cork-upholstered sofa, echoing its natural hand and enhancing the installation’s organic elegance.
Working in close collaboration, our Creative and Custom teams explored the material’s full potential — developing everything from borders to beaded fringe in cork, reimagining classic techniques through a contemporary, sustainable lens.
