I like the piece, it´s a nice idea, possibly weighted towards style rather than content but imaginative nonetheless. I am interested to know whether the product is composite and if so what type of resin has been used to bond it (i am interested in green composite cork products). I don´t think the product is being marketed as a green product, I think that in the above comments we are seeing stereotyping on the part of people assuming that cork products are green, some are, some aren´t, it depends on the additional processes, the economical use of the material and the carbon footprint and sustainability of the product and the material used to make it. As fas other comments regarding cork ´running out´ are concerned; do some research! The cork industry is under threat for consumer/ political reasons, not because cork trees are dying. Innovative, informed and responsible cork products should be the target for designers interested in this material, taking into accounts all properties of the material, its ecology and the product that results. Please contact me (FB) if you are interested in courses looking at the use of cork in design. Most of the comments above seem very imature and ill informed.
