Designed in 1997 by Kevin Walz for KorQinc., this sculptural side table is crafted entirely from molded cork and exemplifies the designer’s innovative approach to sustainable materials and architectural form. The table features a bold rectangular top supported by curved vertical cork elements and a substantial lower platform, creating a striking two-tier, two-level composition. This stepped construction introduces strong visual rhythm and negative space while also providing practical surface area for books, objects, or display. The silhouette is graphic and architectural, while the warm, speckled cork surface adds organic texture and warmth. KorQinc., founded by Kevin Walz in California, became known in the 1990s for transforming cork into serious design furniture that blurred the line between functional object and sculptural art. This table reflects that philosophy beautifully. It works equally well as a side table, accent table, or standalone design object in a curated contemporary interior.
I love this piece as a small work of functional sculpture. The unexpected cork material, architectural curves, and two-level construction give it a playful yet serious presence. It feels like a rare, collectible design object that also happens to be wonderfully useful.
**The piece is marked “KorQinc. © Kevin Walz” and dated 1997, confirming its authenticity and production period. A matching KorQinc cork chair by Kevin Walz is available in a separate listing, allowing the pieces to be collected together or enjoyed individually. The last photo gives you an idea of how the two pieces look together.

The cork shows natural tonal variation and minor surface marks inherent to the material and consistent with age and use. Structurally sound and sturdy.
