In partnership with Modus in South Somerset, UK, and designed by Michael Sodeau, the Modus Art/Abe/Arne tables are a trio that share similarities while serving distinct purposes.
Art is the smallest of the three, featuring an angled cutout that is perfect for holding a book. The medium-sized Abe has a lower shelf running around its entire perimeter. The largest table, Arne, is designed to function best as a central coffee table, showcasing a concentric cutout on the top that is ideal for magazines.
Crafted from 100% recycled cork materials left over from the wine bottle cork manufacturing process, these tables are bonded with a solvent-free binder. Cork is water-repellent, easy to clean, and offers sound-insulating properties, creating a memorable and cozy atmosphere.
At the end of their lifecycle, the Modus Art/Abe/Arne tables can either be mechanically recycled into new products or composted, enriching the soil. Cork is a renewable resource that is harvested from the outer bark of the Mediterranean cork oak tree without causing harm, allowing the tree to regenerate. This sustainable cork harvesting supports communities in southern Europe and northern Africa while positively impacting the environment.
Renewable, compostable, easily recycled, carbon positive, hydrophobic, sound dampening, warm and tactile, the Modus Bob cork stool is unique piece of furniture that is also sustainable. Made entirely from waste materials generated during the production of wine bottle corks, this stool is both eco-friendly and functional.
Produced in partnership with Modus in South Somerset, UK, the Bob stool was designed by Michael Sodeau. It features a natural finish that feels soft to the touch, a curved base with a concave seat, and iconic holes that make it easy to move while adding a distinctive design element.
When the Modus Bob stool reaches the end of its useful life, it can be recycled into a new product or composted, enriching the soil. It is available with FSC certification upon request and is crafted from 100% recycled cork using a solvent-free binder.
