Cork stool

Recently a lot of furniture designs show the use of cork. Green thinking might well be a reason for that. Cork oak trees have a quite long lifespan and their oak bark can be peeled every nine years. German designer Manuel Welsky has created the SCRW stool, made of cork and high-quality steel.
