The equation balances, and the idea is obvious, so we wonder why on earth we never had this idea. We throw corks away by the dozen (daily, in my home) and then go out and buy insulating cork mats to protect delicate countertops from hot pans. Surely there’s some disconnect here?
The Salvamanteles Bakus from Ciclus and designer Nikoline Arns is a simple metal tray into which you load old bottle-stoppers and make yourself an instant placemat. There are spikes punched from the stainless steel to keep the corks in place. We most like the renewability — when the corks start to get burned-out you can pop in a new one while celebrating your green-mindedness with a glass of freshly-opened wine. Can you buy it? Of course not. Can you make your own from a cheap, dime-store cake tin? Sure!
