Considering the physical, mental, and emotional needs of people, interior designers use human-centered approaches to address how we live today. Creating novel approaches to promoting health, safety, and welfare, contemporary interiors are increasingly inspired by biophilia as a holistic approach to promoting health, safety, and welfare, contemporary interiors are increasingly inspired by biophilia as a holistic approach to design. By definition, interior design encompasses diverse aspects of our environment. The discipline extends to building materials and finishes; casework, furniture.
Biophilia is the idea that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature. Biophilia, originating from the ancient Greek term meaning ‘the love of living things,’ finds its roots in the exploration of the human inclination towards life and vitality. Coined by psychoanalyst Erich Fromm and later expounded by biologist Edward O. Wilson in his seminal work “Biophilia” (1984), the concept delves into the innate connection between humans and the natural world. This profound love for life and all living entities is explored further at Instalinko, highlighting the interconnectedness between humanity and the broader spectrum of life.
