SAXBORGA box set, plastic cork, 24x17 cm

Cork comes from cork oak bark which is carefully cut from the tree’s trunk. It then takes about nine years until the tree forms new bark that can be harvested. Since a cork oak can live to be aged 150-200, each one produces a lot of cork during its lifetime. Cork has several good qualities as a material: it’s lightweight, flexible, waterproof and naturally resists fire. We use it in furniture and accessories.

Most people keep their hygiene and beauty products in the bathroom, but also use them outside the bathroom. The products in the SAXBORGA series are easy to bring with you – so you can put on make-up by the TV or try different jewellery and hair accessories at the dining table. And don’t worry, cork is a natural material that keeps its shape and beauty, even in humid bathrooms.
