In partnership with Modus in South Somerset, UK, and designed by Michael Sodeau, the Modus Art/Abe/Arne tables are a trio that share similarities while serving distinct purposes.
Art is the smallest of the three, featuring an angled cutout that is perfect for holding a book. The medium-sized Abe has a lower shelf running around its entire perimeter. The largest table, Arne, is designed to function best as a central coffee table, showcasing a concentric cutout on the top that is ideal for magazines.
Crafted from 100% recycled cork materials left over from the wine bottle cork manufacturing process, these tables are bonded with a solvent-free binder. Cork is water-repellent, easy to clean, and offers sound-insulating properties, creating a memorable and cozy atmosphere.
At the end of their lifecycle, the Modus Art/Abe/Arne tables can either be mechanically recycled into new products or composted, enriching the soil. Cork is a renewable resource that is harvested from the outer bark of the Mediterranean cork oak tree without causing harm, allowing the tree to regenerate. This sustainable cork harvesting supports communities in southern Europe and northern Africa while positively impacting the environment.
