Our Story
Oakliv - The Cork Studio
We started with one question
In 2021, we noticed that cork kept showing up in conversations about sustainability — but rarely in conversations about design. It was treated as a novelty, not a material.
We built Oakliv to change that. Our work is focused on material integrity, surface quality, and long-term usability — across interiors, products, and custom applications. We study how cork performs. We specify it carefully. We build with it deliberately.
one product at a time.

Built for volume Trusted for consistency.
Our work runs across real commercial environments — where the same specification has to hold across batches, locations, and timelines
Patterns We See Repeated
Long-term reorders on the same material codes
Consistent specifications across multiple locations
Projects scaling from pilot runs to volume production

Cork is already responsible We just don't overstate it.
We don't lead with sustainability as a selling point. The material does that work on its own.
The bark regrows
As it does, it stores carbon — a natural cycle that responsible forest management keeps intact..
The tree stays standing.
Only the bark is harvested, and it grows back — the same tree, harvested repeatedly over decades.
200 years. Harvested every nine.
A single cork oak can be harvested every nine years for over 200 years. That's the material system we're working within.
