Nick Tretiak Cork Lounge Chair

Cork continues to gain popularity as shoppers search for more environmentally friendly products. Cork is a renewable wood source as the bark is harvested from cork trees every seven years. The tree is not harmed and the bark will grow back naturally. The lounge chair featured here was designed by Nick Tretiak. Nick experimented with cork and furniture resulting in the creation of this piece. He wanted to incorporate the softness of cork and refrain from using a solid block of material. This chair uses cork for the seat and back with the frame being constructed of red oak.
