Product Information

Full details

The Vitra Cork Family Stools, designed by Jasper Morrison, are ideal for those seeking a functional yet nature-inspired accent piece for their home or office. Their primary benefit lies in their versatility as a stool, side table, or decorative object, crafted from sustainable, solid cork. A potential caveat is that cork is a natural material and may show subtle variations or develop a patina over time, which can be seen as a unique characteristic. These stools are lathe-turned from pure cork, offering stability, a pleasant tactile surface, and lightweight portability. The collection features organically shaped pieces with consistent dimensions, adding a touch of natural charm to any interior.

FAQs

What material are the Vitra Cork Family Stools made from?

The stools are made from 100% solid, lathe-turned cork, a sustainable and natural material.

Do I need to assemble the stool?

No, the Vitra Cork Family Stool comes fully assembled and is ready to use upon arrival.

What are the dimensions of the stool?

The stool has a depth of 310 mm, a width of 310 mm, and a height of 330 mm.

Is the cork material durable?

Yes, the cork is dense and lathe-turned for stability and durability for everyday use as a stool or side table.

How should I clean the stool?

Wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and chemical solvents.

Will the cork color remain consistent over time?

Cork is a natural material and may develop a unique patina or slight color variations with age and exposure to light, which is considered part of its natural charm.

Can it be used outdoors?

While durable, the stool is best suited for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight can affect the cork's integrity and appearance.

What is the weight capacity of the stool?

The stool is designed for standard seating and side table use. Specific weight capacity is not provided, but its solid construction ensures good stability for typical loads.

Troubleshooting

Stool has a slight wobble.

Ensure the stool is placed on a level surface. Minor wobbles can occur due to the natural material and shape; this is usually inherent to the design.

Surface appears dull or has minor marks.

Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. For minor marks, a soft eraser may be used cautiously. Natural patination is normal for cork.

Received a stool with a slightly different color/texture.

This is normal, as cork is a natural material. Each stool will have unique variations in color and grain, reflecting its organic origin.
