Creative-Cork

Creative-Cork is a Portuguese furniture brand that fuses cork with wood to make contemporary pieces by hand. It grew out of M. J. Travessa Móveis, a joinery company with 42 years of experience in wood furniture, which created the Creative-Cork label in 2013 as a way to bring cork into seating and tables.

Tables, armchairs, chairs, stools and headboards are produced in Portugal with traditional joinery techniques, cork adding warmth, a soft touch and acoustic and thermal insulation. The brand frames the choice as an environmental one: cork bark is stripped by hand and the cork oak is never felled, regrowing its bark afterwards, and the company presents its furniture as a way to leave a healthier planet to future generations.
