Natural + Organic Elements in Design
From the unpolished beech wood that defines Scandinavian minimalism to smooth marble pieces redolent of Rome, natural and organic materials have the capacity to inject life into interiors of all shapes and sizes. Though industrial pieces and plastics dominated modern design movements in the late 20th century, earthy elements are making a beautiful comeback.
Soft color palettes and tactile natural materials like polished wood, wool and stone not only feel better to the touch than synthetics, they're better for the body and soul too. Safe for children and pets, all-natural design materials offer a level of comfort plastics can't provide while imbuing spaces with the same sense of calm as a verdant meadow.
From The Look
Reclaimed + Renewed
Innovation is born from necessity, and a global need to halt deforestation has brilliant designers turning previously harvested teak, elm, maple and other used woods into recycled works of art. A recovered wood table can have all the style points of a mid-century piece, while the refurbishing process brings just enough modern sensibility to mesh with a minimalist dining room.
These reclaimed treasures display the enticing imperfections that make a table, bench or chair one-of-a-kind. In addition to the bigger centerpieces, recycled wood also makes lovely picture frames, cutting boards and accent pieces like bowls and vases.
Concrete Ideas
A beautiful bridge between industrial and natural, cement—raw or polished—creates high-impact pieces that are both appealing and utilitarian. While cement walls and flooring make a statement, the sophisticated edge that concrete and other stone provides isn't limited to large pieces or areas, making it incredibly easy to incorporate into interior spaces. Cement planter boxes, lamp bases and end tables for example, provide subtle opportunities for incorporating the material.
