ZigZag Pattern

Renewable

Haute Surface is made from 100% granulated cork, a by-product of the wine stopper industry. Cork is the bark harvested from the Cork Oak. The bark is harvested every six years from mature oaks. The Cork Oak forests are responsibly managed and independently certified by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). The Cork Oak's bark will grow and yield new cork throughout the lifetime of the tree.

Biodegradable / Compostable

Cork will biodegrade safely under the right set of conditions, as it is a plant product. In addition, Haute Surface can be shredded and put in a composting bin or buried to biodegrade over time.

Recycled Content

The granulated cork used in Haute Surface is 100% pre-consumer waste, as it comes from the waste by-products of the wine stopper industry. The waste is collected from the wine stopper production lines and ground down to be used as cork board, coasters and other commercial applications.

Haute Surface was inspired by the practical elegance of textile patterns and their ability to provide surfaces with meaning, color and texture. The modules aim to encourage creativity on the part of the user and fashion through these protective patterns.
