Biophilic Design: More than a Trend

Consumers want more access to nature in their everyday activities and purchases. Homeowners and potential customers are prioritising green spaces and visiting garden centres in historic numbers. People are blending organic design and maximising flora even in small places.

One of the most pressing issues about sustainability, an idea that is increasingly being incorporated into interior design and architecture, is the impact that human actions have on this generation, but especially on future generations.

The plant parent mania has reached new heights. Sales at speciality plant stores and independent shops are increasing, particularly online. Passionate collectors and newcomers alike are looking for eye-catching plants, stands, and pottery to capture nature's mood-boosting advantages.

If the house is surrounded by vegetation, it is always a good idea to opt for large, wide windows. It is one of the easiest ways to merge the exterior with the interior and invite nature into the house.

The Cabo de Vila house is an excellent example that embraces nature without compromising the specific style that the designer wanted for the furniture. In this project, carried out exclusively by Laskasas, the interior designer chose to wrap the entire house in glass rather than make radical alterations to the style of the furniture.
