Studio Corkinho

 

Studio Corkinho, located in Antwerp, Belgium, is a multi-disciplinary design practice that seeks to imbue spaces with a sense of serenity and contemplation. Their expertise lies in crafting exquisite interior items and tableware, including bowls, vases, coasters, candle holders, and plates. Their offerings encompass two distinct lines: the Burnt Cork Collection and the Erosion Collection.

Studio Corkinho As Design Studio

At Studio Corkinho, creativity knows no limits. The studio is the brainchild of a design duo, Cédric Etienne and Klas Dalquist. Cédric, the founder and interior designer, hails from Belgium, while Klas brings a rich background in textiles. They draw inspiration from diverse locales, from the bustling harbour of Antwerp to the untamed beauty of Swedish nature and the serene cork oak landscapes of Portugal. Studio Corkinho's mission is to craft limited-edition objects and furniture that transform interiors into contemplative works of art.

Burnt Cork Collection

The Burnt Cork Collection, affectionately known as "Mother," pays homage to Mother Earth's transformative power. Designed by Cédric Etienne in 2017, this collection takes cork bark harvested from the Portuguese Alentejo Hills and magically turns it into timeless archetypes. Handcrafted in Porto, these items are not only beautiful but also practical, as cork is a natural material that can withstand high temperatures, making it the perfect companion for your tableware needs. Each piece is delicately varnished with organic oil for added protection. Choose from a variety of sizes in cork vases, bowls, and coasters to adorn your kitchen, dining room, living space, or any corner of your interior.

Erosion Collection

The Erosion Collection, also designed by Cédric Etienne in 2017, transforms leftover stone typologies into captivating objects d'art that transcend time and space. Handmade from Pietra di Medici (IT), Beige di Medici (IT), or Pierre de Varennes (D) stone, each piece is thoughtfully varnished with organic oil for preservation. This collection includes an array of stunning items, from bowls and coasters to candle holders, all of which will add an enchanting touch to your dinner table, side table, dresser, or kitchen island.

In the world of Studio Corkinho, design transcends boundaries, nature inspires art, and stillness finds its place in everyday life. Discover the essence of contemplative design through their exceptional collections.
