The Clover collection is a continuation of Grain’s research and fascination with cork, a material that is rapidly renewable, carbon positive, and completely biodegradable. These pieces balance beauty and the belief that the choices we make as designers can have a positive impact on the world around us. Shown in natural cork. Inquire

Please enjoy a sneak peak of the Cork Collection by Grain, a body of work that began as a fascination with the material itself.
The realization of Grain’s meticulous research of cork’s material capabilities, this collection is a series of CNC lathed tables and a bench that highlight the formal longevity and environmental sustainability of Mediterranean cork. “We wanted to honor this extraordinary material first and foremost,” says Chelsea Minola of Grain. “We worked to take advantage of the block and cylinder forms that are standard in the cork production process and used these standards as the basic formal components of our final designs.” The results are at once monolithic and inviting, familiar and novel, and ultimately both sustainably functional and stunning.
See the Cork Collection and more introductions next week Here at Colony, 2021, our first exhibit since before the pandemic.
For the safety of all our guests and in compliance of NYC COVID regulations, we are accepting RSVPs for staggered entry, limiting capacity to 20 people at a time and checking names and vaccination cards upon arrival.
The Grain Cork Collection is a project that grew from many years of research and development, and as a fascination with the material itself. The Cork Collection is designed to honor this extraordinary material first and foremost. Cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree that grows in Mediterranean climates and can live for up to 200 years. It is hand-harvested every nine years without harming the tree making it a rapidly renewable material and a powerful carbon sink. Due to the regeneration process, the more bark harvested from the tree, the more carbon is absorbed. In all of Grain’s work, their hope is that they are building furniture and objects that will be passed down through generations. That said, at the end of its useful life, cork can be reused and is fully biodegradable. Though durable and resilient, the hand of the finished surfaces feel more like velvet than wood. We see them as grounding elements in family-friendly homes and playful commercial spaces. Inquire
