The Nature's Touch is a sustainable bathroom set crafted from cork. Applying cork's unique properties like water resistance, friction, and flexibility, the set comprises an organizer, a bathmat, soap boxes, and a towel rack. Unlike dominant plastic bathroom products, this innovative collection offers a sustainable solution by using cork, which is harvested without felling trees. Each product in the set draws inspiration from natural elements, such as mountains, moon, and waves, aiming to immerse users in a more natural environment while emphasizing sustainability.
