Cork Family Stool
Made by Vitra
Designed by Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison has long been drawn to materials that carry their own character. The Cork Family Stool distills that sensibility into its purest form, shaped entirely from compressed natural cork, a material that is at once ancient and quietly modern.
Cork brings an unexpected combination of qualities to furniture: it is light enough to lift with one hand, resilient under daily use, and warm to the touch in a way that wood and stone cannot match. The velvety surface finish deepens this tactile identity, inviting contact rather than demanding distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cork Family Stool made from?
The Cork Family Stool is made from compressed natural cork. The material is harvested from cork oak bark, making it a renewable resource that is lightweight, resilient, and distinctly warm to the touch.
Can the Cork Family Stool be used as a side table?
Yes. Its form and proportions are calibrated to function as both a stool and a side table, making it a versatile object in living rooms, bedrooms, or reading areas.
Who designed the Cork Family for Vitra?
The Cork Family was designed by British designer Jasper Morrison, whose practice is defined by a philosophy of quiet precision and deep attention to material honesty. His long-standing collaboration with Vitra spans several decades.
How durable is cork as a furniture material?
Cork is a remarkably durable material, resistant to abrasion and compression over time. Its cellular structure allows it to recover its form after pressure, which makes it well suited for occasional seating and surfaces.
Is the Cork Family Stool suitable for outdoor use?
The Cork Family Stool is intended for interior use. While cork is naturally resistant to moisture to a degree, prolonged outdoor exposure can compromise the surface finish and structural integrity of the compressed form.
