Greening interior spaces through multi-species design offers a vibrant approach to enhancing our living and working environments. By integrating textile-based interior design pieces, we can invite plants to cohabit alongside us, creating dynamic ecosystems that promote well-being and biodiversity.
New sustainable ways of living based on multispecies cohabitation
In this approach plants are intentionally relocated to adapt to changing climates and habitats. It aims to support ecological resilience. Our integration of living elements in interiors fosters a deeper connection between nature and our daily lives, transforming working and living spaces into thriving biodiversity sanctuaries that reflect the beauty of multi-species coexistence.
