Cork is one of our favorite green materials. We saw earlier this week that Yemm & Hart will recycle your wine bottle corks into floor tiles. Here we see large cork "bricks" on the wall of a mid century modern home...
Flickr Find: Cork Wall
The photo was snapped in the interior of a modern home at an estate sale. We've seen cork used in thin, tile-size applications before, but never in blocks like this! We have to say, this just strengthens our love for the material. (Photo via roxydynamite's photostream on Flickr.)

it'd be nice to see this in the context of the whole room.

I never seen something like this done with cork either. Very beautiful. It must be great to cut noise in a room.

Let's get a source! I'd like to see it in the context of the room, too.

i looked through the flickr and there doesn't appear to be a full-wall view. boo.

careful - cork is a bark, so the insects will love this wall as much as you do, or more! i've seen a few walls covered with cork for use as bulletin boards, and las cucarachas were having quite a party back there.

What happened to the concern a while back that the cork sources were being decimated? Is cork now sustainable?
