We don’t know about you but we love to add a touch of tangible class to our smartphones here at The Coolector and there is no better way of doing this than through a well-chosen case. Well, they don’t come much more refined and eye-catching than these superb looking Bark Sweden Smartphone Cases which are funding over on the crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter, as we speak. Each one is crafted from 100% Swedish hardwood waste. No veneer – no plastic – just 100% wood. What’s not to like?
The Bark Sweden Smartphone Cases on Kickstarter are pleasingly affordable with prices starting at a thoroughly reasonable $53 which is some 20% off the final intended retail price for these super-cool cases. This is the sort of accessory that you can feel good adding to your smartphone as there is an eco-friendliness to it. Bark Sweden offers smartphone cases that are made from 100% Swedish hardwood and their raw material comes from waste wood. Each case is unique due to the manufacturing techniques used so no two will ever be the same.
EFFORTLESSLY COOL AESTHETIC
There is something about the look and feel of wooden accessories that we can’t help but fall for here at Coolector HQ so these Bark Sweden Smartphone Cases were always going to be right up our street – and it would appear that we’re not alone in loving them as they’ve already flown past their funding target over on Kickstarter. Bark Sweden wanted to challenge the market and use wood in a way that has never been done before, with a demanding product where 0.1 millimetre makes all the differences for its fit and feel. You’ll be amazed at just how sleek, yet protective, these cases are.
The Bark Sweden Smartphone Cases (from $53) stems from a desire to create a product from a local and recyclable materials. They have chosen to work with “traceable” waste wood, mainly trees that come from necessary felling in parks and gardens for the creation of these devilishly dapper cases. Bark Sweden hope that this is a step towards a sustainable way of living, including non-fissile raw materials and lower climate impact and if you want to feel good about a principal part of your EDC, adding this to your line up is a no-brainer in our opinion.
Wood has been a material in manufacturing forever pretty much and for good reason. During the last decade we have started using new materials like plastics, reinforced composites and synthetic fibres. Wood has stood back in favour of these new materials, and has been used for simpler products like tool handles, paper and packaging. Bark Sweden wants to change this and show that by using innovative technology wood can hold both durability and precision in thin dimensions. These smartphone cases are the first step in that journey and you can throw your support behind it by heading on over to Kickstarter now and grabbing one for your phone for 2022.
