Colour and cork

Cork is a versatile and sustainable material that is increasingly being used in interior design and decorative objects. Adding color to these cork objects further expands the creative and aesthetic possibilities, allowing the final object to become more contemporary. Lamps and lampshades made from colored cork offer soft, diffused lighting, ideal for creating a welcoming atmosphere. Colors can vary to suit the style of the room, from pastel shades to vibrant colors.
