Cork Oak table
Nature is not a place to visit. It is home. We try our best to take Nature to your home.
This time we made a minimalist cork oak tree table, thinking of how good it will look at your home.
The cork oak (Quercus suber) is a tree of the oak family, grown in southern Europe and from which cork is extracted.Together with the pine tree, the cork oak is one of the most prevalent tree species in Portugal, being more common in the coastal Alentejo and Algarve mountains. Thanks to a cork, the cork oak has been cultivated since ancient times.
The extraction of cork is not (in general terms) harmful to the tree since it produces a new layer of “bark” (suber) with identical thickness every nine years, after which it is subjected to new stripping. Recently, more mechanized and safer processes have been developed to carry out this operation, as in the machine that cuts the cork, avoiding injuries harmful to the life of the cork oak, and that facilitates the work of the drawers, without replacing them, thus increasing the productivity.It can be up to 20 m, but it will generally be 15 m.

20 years later
A long redesign.
We started DE RAIZ Design as a family run business more than 20 years ago. Craving to live surrounded by nature we moved with our three kids to the Alentejo in the south of Portugal. It was the best choice we could have done because our children were raised aware and conscious of the importance of living a sustainable life, honouring Nature blessings.
Structure enables flexibility.
20 years later, our business process evolved to large scale and we are able to embrace large interior design projects. Our products even though exclusive (each one is never exactly the same because we are using natural raw wood), follows a constant procedure for greatness structural delivery.
