Elephant’s Echoes: Reimagining Cork

Elephant's Echoes: Reimagining Cork is a design concept that explores the viability of cork as a sustainable alternative to elephant leather. Cork, a biodegradable material, shares the durability, texture, natural appearance, and insulating properties of leather. By mimicking the distinctive texture of elephant skin through this sustainable plant-based alternative, this project honours the cultural reverence of elephants while challenging their historical exploitation.
