The word ‘Biophilia’ comes from the Greek language, and can be translated as ‘a love for life’. It refers to the human need for contact with nature. Biophilic design responds to that need by incorporating natural elements in living or working environments. It makes these environments a little more pleasant and has even been shown to have a positive impact on health. For instance, employees feel less stress and are more productive in an office that has plants, and city dwellers feel happier when they can look out to a spot of greenery.

Cities continue to grow and grow and we all seem to be increasingly alienated from nature. That is why urban planners, designers and architects are looking closer than ever at ways to bring nature into our living environment. This includes green facades, green roofs, and moss walls. Natural textures and materials are also remarkably effective, which is why using natural elements in the home is also one of the major interior trends for 2022-2023. 

Veneer is always a winning option if you want to create a pleasant interior with a natural feel. The wood immediately creates an organic and warm appearance and this is exactly what everyone is looking for these days. Reconstructed veneer such as the new Infinite Wood collection from Decospan has even more benefits. It is available in endless, perfectly uniform surfaces and constant quality. Further benefits are its exotic looks, produced using local, sustainable varieties of wood. In this way, love for life also continues to be environmentally responsible.
