Bark, a lounge chair by Rikke Hagen made in cork.

A new expression in the cork

In HAGEN ETC. we like to explore materials in new ways. Bark is a piece of limited edition furniture in our collection. A lounge chair made of oak cork and is an expression of the meeting between new technology in a 5-axis CNC milling machine and an understanding of good old craftsmanship.

Danish design is deeply rooted in understanding craftsmanship, materials and an honest approach to form and function. It is deﬁned by thinking that we can improve our lives by going further. We owe this legacy to people who dared to think innovatively within an industry willing to take a risk.

Together with danish designMAKERS, Rikke Hagen has exhibited Bark at this year’s furniture fair in Stockholm.
