The authenticity of natural fibers

Natural coverings are very present in interior design projects and current designs. Wicker, rattan, jute, sisal, or bamboo are natural textures that have been relegated to terraces and balconies for decades but are now returning indoors in the form of furniture, surfaces, and decorative objects.

What was once associated with summer is now being de-seasonalized to create cooler and cozier interiors, something that transports us to exotic environments at any time of year. This is achieved thanks to the great Versatility of fibers because they are materials that adapt to any style and any tone, providing balance in similar aesthetics such as rustic decoration or counteracting the hardness of a modern or industrial environment.

Also, with them come environments with more personality and bring the value of the handmade. The pieces made with natural fibers are crafted with patience and detail, and no two are ever the same. This reinforces the value of authenticity, a sense of well-being, and the Slow design. Read article about slow design.
