Furniture by design are meant to be functional, but some are more so than others; take the Kork Boxes as a perfect example. While they are clearly stylish and contemporary, they boast details that allow people to see past their good looks and concentrate solely on how they perform. The more prominent of these details is the Kork Boxes' hollow bodies, which acts as a convenient container for various objects on hand.
Designed by Twodesigners, a creative agency founded by Jonathan Honvoh and Rodrigue Strouwen and based in Liege, Belgium, the Kork Boxes are each made out of metal hooping in which two elements enter and combine as well as cork surfaces for added texture. They are available in different sizes.
