Daylight that Supports Your Body Clock

Framing Views to Nature

Angle furniture to face trees, sky, or even a planter vignette. If views are scarce, create indoor vistas with layered foliage and a moss feature. Comment with a photo of your favorite nature view from home or work.

Soft Contrasts and Dappled Patterns

Use slatted screens, woven shades, and leaflike cutouts to cast gentle, shifting shadows. These biophilic design elements invite curiosity without distraction. Tell us which pattern you love, and we might feature your setup in a future post.

Living Materials: Wood, Stone, Clay, and Honest Texture

Opt for oiled wood, unsealed stone, cork, and clay paint with low emissions. Subtle imperfections tell a story across years. Which surface would you touch first each morning, and how could those biophilic design elements shape your habits?
