Tile and Biophilic Design Bio - what? Biophilic is a fancy word for bringing the outdoors in to promote human connection with nature. How can we reproduce the same physical, psychological, and emotional effects of nature? One of the greatest architects of all time, Frank Lloyd Wright, said: “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.” Many modern workspaces have incorporated biophilic design elements to improve the quality of life of their employees, meet sustainability goals, and increase productivity. Overall, biophilic design is a great way to experience happiness and tranquility through maintaining a connection with nature. Shades 2.0 by Crossville

get synonymous with nature Biophilic design seeks to connect people to the natural environment by utilizing natural materials, views of nature, and other elements that create a connection with the outdoors.

embrace greenery We can’t talk about natural design and not include nature's primary color! Focus on recreating the relationship between humans and the outdoors through the use of plants, imagery, or plant colors. The idea here is to use elements of greenery to create an atmosphere that has a calming and peaceful effect. Classics Tide by Mosa Fes by Colli Sonare by Lunada Bay Hustle by Sonoma

use biomimicry Biomimicry is the practice of applying nature-inspired designs and emulating nature's time-tested patterns. It is based on the idea that the natural world has been perfecting its design for millions of years, so it makes sense to look to nature for design ideas. Biomimicry can also be used to help us find more sustainable ways of living, by looking to nature and learning from its efficient and renewable processes. Botanicals by Walker Zanger

Sonoma Stone go natural Biophilic designers gravitate toward wood and stone over synthetic materials like plastics or polished metals. Natural materials tend to develop a patina over time, suggesting the natural progression of age. The use of stone and wood can be a great way to add natural beauty while reaping the many physical, mental, and emotional benefits that come from being connected to nature.
