WHY CORK
From the heart of Empordà and Costa Brava, by observing
the cork oak forests, the curiosity to communicate
their beauty through our products
has been born.

SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL
GENEROUS, ECOLOGICAL AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL
When the tree is more than twenty-five years old and the size is sufficient, the first bark that the tree has generated (virgin cork) can begin to be extracted. Afterwards, we have to wait between 9 and 14 years to remove manually the bark that we work with. In total, this is carried out about 14 times in the course of a tree’s life. With this process, the cork oak absorbs 3 to 5 times more CO2.

The use of cork allows the protection of the cork oak forests, which help the Mediterranean biodiversity, contributes to desertification retardation and avoids the spread of fires that cause climate change. It is an absolutely necessary tree and it is totally adapted to the Mediterranean climate.

OUR HISTORY WITH CORK
It all started with a small object that represented Costa Brava and paid homage to fishermen work. We were inspired by the old glass buoys used by fishermen (19th-20th centuries) and also by the nets with their cork floats.

This is where the little gift came from: a candle with a cork stopper in a handmade glass inspired by the first colours of these buoys. From here, the story of our products continues…

THE MAGIC OF CORK
Cork, a magical material that comes out from the forest and it is transformed by storing treasures, messages in a bottle, through wine alchemy or dancing with pottery.
