Cork Decking One of Ethical and Sustainable Teak Alternatives
Cork has been the biggest hang-up. Walking on a cork deck feels great underfoot; soft, comfortable, just like teak. That tactile feel is a big part of why people love teak. Cork gives you that. Visually cork lacks the character that the grain of a natural teak deck has, but it can still have the traditional seams and look great. Conversely, cork does allow total design freedom similar to our composite decking if the designer or owner wants to get creative with a design feature other than the traditional “teak plank look”.
Studio TK Introduces a Trio of Versatile Cork Tables
The cork tables were designed by Michael Sodeau, who first explored the natural material when he was working on a resort project in Sagres, Portugal.

Multicolored Porsche Carrera has a cabin wrapped in cork, denim and flannel
Inside, the car takes on a different texture entirely. Wotherspoon layers the cabin with vintage Levi’s denim, corduroy, and flannel, fabrics sourced from garments dating back to the 1960s. ‘It’s all made with vintage Levi’s denim and flannel shirts,’ he continues. ‘I also used some corduroy in there because it’s one of my favorite materials, and the cork dashboard is also really special. The cork was leftover from the Taycan project, so it has a little bit of modern Porsche running through it.’
