100% cork & potato

0% plastic

Jack embodies a radical alternative to conventional plastic: it is 100% bio-based, biodegradable, and compostable. Its unique material is born from the union of cork and potato starch, combined with natural dyes. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and carries its own textural variations.

Choosing Jack means entering into a pact with nature: a precious object that requires a little care to last. Taking care of it is about cultivating a new art of living, more conscious and closer to the raw material.

FAQ Jack & Jenny

Questions about materials, care, or assembly?

What exactly is the Jack module made of?

Jack is an ecological alternative to conventional plastic. It is composed of a 100% bio-based polymer derived from potato starch mixed with low-density cork granules. It is colored with 100% natural pigments. The starch used is not taken from the food or feed supply chain.

Choosing Jack means entering into a pact with nature.

What should I expect from a natural material?

Each piece is unique and features its own texture variations. Because it is a "living" material, Jack may evolve slightly over time.

Choosing Jack means accepting a pact with nature: a precious object that requires a little care to last. Taking care of it is about cultivating a new art of living, more conscious and closer to the raw material.

Can Jack & Jenny be used outdoors?

No. Due to its entirely natural, biodegradable, and compostable composition, Jack is designed exclusively for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to humidity or weather elements could alter its properties.

How do I care for my Jack & Jenny system?

A special object requires special care. For the Jack module, a soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid chemical products.

For Jenny (the wood), a simple dry cloth is enough for dusting. If a stain marks the fiber, you can use very fine-grit sandpaper to gently remove it.

How can I ensure the longevity of my Jack module?

Choosing Jack is choosing a radical alternative to plastic for a better world. Its entirely natural composition (cork & potato starch) means each piece is unique. To help it live a long and healthy life by your side, here is our essential advice:

  • Indoor use only: Jack thrives in dry environments. Avoid humid rooms or extreme temperatures.

  • Sun & Liquid protection: To preserve its texture and color, avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight and any long-term contact with liquids.

  • Waste sorting: If you use Jack for sorting, be sure to clean and dry the module after each use.

  • What to avoid: Do not store organic/wet substances directly inside (it might start to self-compost!) and strictly avoid chemical detergents.

  • Gentle cleaning: A simple damp cloth is all it takes to restore its glow.

What is Jack’s long-term footprint?

Jack is designed to stay with you for a long time. Its strength lies in its circular cycle: if it should ever leave your home, it is fully compostable.

You can take it to a composting center or, better yet, return it to us. We will take care of giving it a second life or recycling it properly.

We are currently setting up a take-back system so that it can be reintegrated into our circular production process. Follow us on social media or visit our News page to stay informed.

Do not discard Jack in nature; check the biodegradable waste channels in your region.

Is Jenny really made in Switzerland?

Yes, absolutely. Jenny is Swiss Label certified. It is made of solid beech wood from controlled Swiss forests, guaranteeing a short supply chain and sustainable forest management.

Why did you choose Swiss beech?

In Switzerland, beech is an abundant local species, historically used as firewood. We chose to upcycle this raw and often underestimated resource in furniture making, transforming it into a robust and elegant structure.

What is the ideal environment for Jenny?

Avoid very humid areas. As wood is a living material, humidity can affect the precision of the assembly. This is especially important before assembly, as the wood may swell, making the interlocking process more difficult.

How strong and sturdy is the Jack module?

Despite being made from natural materials (cork & potato starch), Jack is designed to be robust and durable. Its structure allows it to easily support weights up to 8kg.

Do I need tools for assembly?

Yes, you will need screwdrivers, a hammer, and a cloth (to protect the wood when using the hammer). Wall mounting screws are included in the kit. An instruction video is available here to guide you.

Is Jenny easy to assemble?

The assembly of Jenny is simple but intentionally tight. To guarantee perfect stability and optimal resistance over time, we chose a snug fit. It is therefore normal to have to exert some force to insert the pieces. Use the floor for support and don't hesitate to ask for help: that is the secret of its sturdiness.

Can Jenny be disassembled?

Yes. You will find instructions and a specific pin in the box to remove the fasteners. However, keep in mind that the primary goal of the kit is to reduce packaging rather than to be frequently disassembled. Since the assembly is tight to maximize robustness, separating the pieces may require some effort.

Why did the Jack & Jenny design win the Red Dot Award and the iF Award?

The iF Award and the Red Dot Award recognize Puzz’le’s innovation in the "Sustainable Design" and "Furniture Design" categories. 

The jury praised the ability to create an aesthetic storage system that solves a major ecological challenge: offering a 100% biodegradable alternative to conventional plastic, without compromising on modularity or elegance.

How can I customize my furniture with the Jack & Jenny configurator?

To create a system that fits your interior perfectly, we have set up an online 3D configurator [link]. You can test all color combinations, stack the Jack modules, and choose the Jenny supports to visualize your future custom piece before ordering.
