Relaxing in a cork beanbag chair










Cork upholstery fabric not only looks amazing but it also lasts. Its a natural product yet made for durability. This beanbag chair is a prime example. Its climbed over, jumped on, napped on, dragged around and its still in perfect condition.

Cork fabric, also known as cork leather or cork skin, is a natural, eco-friendly product. Thin sheets of natural cork obtained directly from the bark of the cork oak tree are adhered to a fabric support backing.

The durability of the cork fabric is remarkable. To prevent staining, the cork fabric is protected with a fabric protection spray. In terms of durability, cork fabric wears similarly to leather which is another reason this cork fabric is often called Cork Leather. The main difference between cork leather and regular leather is cork leather can get wet - actually it can be washed using hot water in a washing machine.

Cork fabric is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, water resistant and stain resistant.
