Meet the Maker

Inspired by two places I call home.

What began as a desire to share a piece of Portugal with Australia soon became a passion for cork and the craftsmanship behind it.

Today every Cork By Design piece is meticulously handcrafted in my Sydney studio, bringing together Portuguese heritage and contemporary Australian design.
