CASALL CORK SERIES

Casall cork products are designed in Sweden and the cork is sustainably produced in Portugal. Protected by law since the 13th century, Portugal is home to the largest cork oak forest area in the world. 

Growing awareness of the value of the ecosystem of the cork oak forest has led to important initiatives in reforestation and the systematisation of good practices. Supporting Portuguese cork production is one way of ensuring the future of cork, and represents the perfect balance between preserving the environment and the sustainable development of local communities. 

“The Casall Cork series is about designing functional products with an elegant natural touch. Creating things that not only look good, they are good”
