verKORKst – these are unique, one-of-a-kind pieces made from the bark of the Spanish cork oak. From wall candle holders and lanterns to fruit bowls – cork can do much more than just seal bottles and hold notes.
The verKORKst pieces, lovingly crafted by Maria and Andreas, come from cork trees in Spain. These trees grow in a warm, Mediterranean climate among olive and eucalyptus trees. Sustainable cork cultivation is their top priority. The regenerating bark of the cork trees is expertly peeled and processed according to its quality. After peeling, selected pieces of bark find their new home in Upper Bavaria. Here, the two lovingly and meticulously handcraft the cork bark into unique works of art. verKORKst is more than just decoration and more than a gift item. It's a way of life: a respectful relationship between people and nature.
Our team:
These are Maria and Andi in Germany, and Marianne and Rainer in Spain. We are united by our love of nature and our fascination with the unique material cork. We are convinced that a sustainable approach to nature is fundamental to human existence. We live this conviction at every stage of the verKORKst production process – from cork cultivation and harvesting to finishing. This shared commitment makes us an unbeatable team.
What makes us different? Maria and Andi live in Upper Bavaria – in the picturesque Isarwinkel region. Marianne and Rainer are realizing their dream of owning a farm with animals and cork trees on their farm in Spain. Thus, at verKORKst, four people have come together who complement each other perfectly, work together, and enjoy the beauty of life.
Why are we such fans of cork?
Anyone who has ever worked with cork will love it. We're all familiar with bottle stoppers and bulletin boards – but holding a piece of cork bark in your hand for the first time is a completely new experience. The bark is wildly textured and sometimes covered with lichens and mosses. Unlike wood, cork bark is incredibly light. Its appearance and feel are unusual and fascinating.
Besides its beauty, cork is also an incredibly durable material. It is fire-resistant and water-repellent, lightweight, and therefore very easy to handle. The bark regenerates continuously, making the material exceptionally sustainable. The tree doesn't need to be felled; it continues to live. At verKORKst, we guarantee sustainable management of the highest standard and 100% handcrafted production.
