INSPIRATION // Ready to shed the weight of materialism, we look to natural cycles, spirituality and indigenous wisdom as sources of freedom and rebirth. Cutting back on clutter and pointless shopping, we refocus on essential, sustainable elements that emphasize nature and healing. Getting in touch with our earth-loving roots, we explore themes of gardening, eco-tourism, plant-based eating, handicraft, and creative recycling.

ELEMENTS // A new form of primitive luxury emerges where eco-friendly materials and techniques dominate.

Wood is preserved with stains or light washes that emphasize natural grain and growth rings. Fabrics feature homespun, flaxen and organic materials and tones. Accessories and furniture exhibit raw, rugged edges or a distinctively upcycled feel. The origins of each piece become as important as its aesthetics. Arts and Crafts, Boho, Rustic, and even Modern elements come together to celebrate a common love of nature.

COLOR PALETTE // Nature-infused colors embody both simplicity and sophistication, with tones reminiscent of raw cotton, plant-based dyes, wood, clay and earth. Rich greens push us toward healthy growth, while deep browns focus on earth's stability, and dark blue and blue-green recall the splendor of a nighttime sky.

APPLICATION // We invite the outside in as living plants and natural elements take prominence.
Finding a balance between archaic beauty and sustainable comfort, spaces feature modest design and naturally noble, ethically sourced materials. Primitive and handmade pieces make thoughtful statements, connecting us to our own evolution and impermanence. Instead of glorifying nature through stylized and distorted depictions of it, we are now seeking to immerse ourselves within it. Artificial elements are purged in an attempt to restore harmony with the Earth.
