BOCONCEPT NURTURES THE BIOPHILIC DESIGN TREND

Contemporary Danish furniture brand, BoConcept explores the Biophilic design trend, and its implications on the home

Trend: Biophilic design

Social trigger: Moving from architecture to residential, likely due to reduced exposure to nature as a result of quarantine

Interior design implications: Greater demand for natural materials, light and hues

Moving from the sphere of architecture Biophilic design is now entering the home; perhaps as a response to our increased time indoors and reduced contact with nature due to quarantine. Biophilic design is about purposefully incorporating nature into our interior spaces, so we can connect to the outdoors. Its benefits include increased creativity, reduced stress, quicker healing, improved mood and general wellbeing. Many connect the trend to plants, which is seeing a continued boom in interiors likened to that of the 60s and 70s. But the benefits of Biophilic design are also reaped from the use of natural materials.

Natural materials abound

With BoConcept’s use of natural materials including ceramics, slate, FSC eucalyptus woods, cotton, high-quality veneers, Spanish stone, silk, Woolmark certified wool and more, BoConcept’s helps consumers introduce the trend in homes around the world. While the brand’s vast range of natural material vases are ideal for dried floral arrangements; yet another way to introduce nature into the home.
