Reza Feiz diverts 2,500 wine and champagne corks away from landfills to make just one 'Life After Corkage' ottoman. Another 1,200 comprise the matching barstool designed for Phase Design. Cork has been praised for its pioneering force in green trends. Though unconventional, the material is sound absorbent, springy and resistant to fire and mould.
