Domaine de Boisbuchet, France

The final week of Boisbuchet’s summer workshop season was characterized by intense experimentation with two specific materials – cork and glass. The dutch designer Maria Blaisse guided a group of designers from Renault in a corporate workshop. Introducing cork as a material with unexpected qualities for new applications.
