Biophilic design: reconnecting us with nature

In the last blog, we told you all about the four trends that will play a key role in interior design in 2024. Today, we turn to the concept of biophilic design: an approach that is here to stay, stamping its hallmark on all projects this year and in ensuing ones.

Biophilic design is an architectural method aimed at reconnecting us with nature by emulating it in the buildings we inhabit so as to foster improved health and wellbeing.

This link with nature is not just limited to the use of plants and natural materials, something that we have already been doing in interior design. It goes further than that by incorporating things like lighting inspired by nature or organic shapes and by striving to create indoor living spaces that make us feel as if we were outside in the open air.

Vertical gardens, big windows that let light come flooding into the home, and decorative organic textures are therefore all key ingredients in the application of biophilic design.

As well as the enhanced aesthetic appeal and added style that this trend guarantees, it also leads to more balanced settings, bringing the beauty of the natural world to indoor living spaces.

Our MDi (Minerals, Design, innovation) surfaces fit in to perfection with this trend because they have been designed and created with the purest natural minerals in an exclusive, innovative, sustainable production process.

What’s more, MDi also offers the possibility of customized designs, finishes and cuts, ensuring truly magnificent projects with a fully integrated biophilic design.
