We are always looking for places and practices that make us feel well and bring harmony and energy in our lives. We are aware that we could get even more well-being from Earth respecting it and its fragility. These issues affect us everyday and the most careful companies in interior design trade use them to put on the market products that take into account intelligent solutions to safeguard the planet and human beings. This is where biophilic design comes from, a discipline that brings plants and green elements into our homes and working interiors.
In your office… among plants
Thinking about our everyday working life, we immediately think about a desk with a computer on it, papers and documents, pens, pencils, highlighters and a small succulent. Small but impressive, in need of very little care, roundish and full of sharp thorns. It doesn’t need care, but you will surely miss it if it is not on your desk. Biophilic design starts from here, from that small succulent and from how it could affect the working environment.

Home: where stress gives way to well-being and relax. Here plants play a fundamental role thanks to biophilic design suggestions. Fabrics get lighter, walls could be coloured with exotic atmospheres wallpapers reminding us to environmental nuances, bedrooms welcome plants so that they can affect our sleeping quality.

Nature comes into our houses making them cozy and refreshing. The green element brings positivity and peace, and welcomes us when we come back home as the beautiful and luxuriant forest of the artwork “For Forest” by Klaus Littmann does.
First of all light and colour. Together with natural materials
Starting from the sunlight entering through large windows, you can think about arranging a biophilic design interior. It often happens that natural light doesn’t come into our houses, due to their structure or geographic location. For this reason we could applybright wallpapers, able to give strength to a grey area. Materials, like wood and rough fabrics, enable us to breath freshly, especially if helped by the Ambientha wallpapers inspired by Amazonia Breathing.

Plants, if placed in strategic points, will make the interiors human-friendly and able to make people feel at the centre of their life. As professor Edward Wilson claims in his book “Biophilia”, men have an innate tendency to take an interest in the place they live and this could be then applied to biophilic design.
