How are wellbeing and biophilic principles showing up in your products and projects, and how has client appetite for this shifted?<\/strong><\/p>

As a pioneer of biophilic design, Interface has always taken cues from the natural world when designing products, utilising biophilic textures, tones and patterns to craft carpet tiles like Upon Common Ground<\/a>, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) Like Earthen Forms<\/a> and rubber flooring solutions like Interface\u2019s most recent product innovation, noravant timber<\/a> that inspire calm and promote wellbeing.<\/p>

Biophilic design has long been integral to the way inspiring interior spaces are created, with its positive impact on wellbeing widely recognised for decades.<\/p>

Biophilic design has long been integral to the way interior spaces are designed due to a myriad of benefits including its ability to help alleviate stress, reduce absenteeism and increase productivity and staff retention<\/a>. As the case for biophilic design has continued to grow, and facilities managers and designers opt to make spaces more accommodating, we’ve seen more demand for naturalistic designs across all flooring types.<\/p>

One of our most recent and substantial biophilic developments is noravant timber, which is designed with ShieldForm\u2122, a proprietary advanced surface technology that provides best-in-class chemical and stain resistance, effortless cleaning, and long-term durability. The first of its kind PVC-free resilient flooring solution, noravant timber is particularly helpful for the healthcare sector, where aesthetics have historically been a lower priority compared to hygiene and durability. As wellbeing and mental health have become greater focuses in the sector for both healthcare workers and patients, biophilic design has surged in popularity with specifiers, as nature-inspired interiors are reported to shorten patient recovery time and reduce stress in healthcare workers<\/a>.<\/p>

Additionally, biophilic design has also grown in popularity in the education sector, as nature-inspired design has been found to both support productive learning, and accommodate neurodiverse students who may otherwise be overwhelmed by typical education space interior design. Ensuring that learning spaces adhere to biophilic design principles, such as natural wayfinding, can reduce the risk of students becoming overstimulated and dysregulated, boosting their student experience and allowing them a better chance of retaining knowledge<\/a>.<\/p>

Furthermore, biophilic carpet tile options, such as Upon Common Ground<\/a>, offer the benefits of nature-inspired design while also bringing in the sound insulation properties of carpet which can be key in commercial, healthcare and education spaces. This is another important consideration when designing inclusive, wellbeing-oriented spaces, as proper noise insulation is vital in increasing focus on feelings of calm in otherwise busy environments like school classrooms, as auditory stimuli directly impacts task performance<\/a>.<\/p>

While it is easy to associate biophilic design with greenery, Upon Common Ground demonstrates that inspiration can come from a variety of natural biomes, and we are seeing greater demand for this variety as designers and brands look to incorporate more biophilic design into a variety of spaces.<\/p>
