A natural bent for human well-being
Matteo Congiu, Sardinian designer is fully aware of cork qualities. He knows that its ancient use to maintain wine unaltered derives from its antibacterial and insulating features. Today’s use of cork is mainly due to its antistatic and antimagnetic properties. But it’s also charming to see, its texture immediately reminds its link with the Earth. Cork seems to be made to rock us to sleep. And this is why Congiu shaped it to create the perfect bed, that Design Italy included in its selection of excellent furniture. “Bisu”, meaning “dream” in Sardinian dialect, is not only an elegant design object or a piece of furniture made with high-quality material, but it is also an investment for our health. “If we don’t sleep well, we can’t live well – Congiu says about his creation – the cork structure provides a sort of protective aura all around to get rid of negative vibes”.
