Nature in Interiors: DesignPanels and Barrilux Ceilings for Biophilic Design

Nature as Part of the Interior

Biophilic design brings inspiration from nature into the built environment through plant motifs, organic forms, light and natural textures. In an office, it can support a calmer atmosphere for focus. In a restaurant, it can reinforce the brand experience. In a guest room, it can make the space feel more relaxing.

DesignPanels: Nature Inside the Panel

DesignPanels from Germany are innovative surface materials and lighting applications. Collections including Invision, Lightpanel, Lima, Wavepanel, Mesh Art, Iceplex and Aquaplex make it possible to create decorative, illuminated surfaces. The portfolio shows panels with embedded elements such as grasses, branches and botanical patterns. They can be used as partitions, reception features, restaurant accents or part of a wellness setting.

Barrilux: A Stretch Ceiling with a Sky Effect

Barrilux stretch ceilings allow for a wide range of forms, colours and printed designs. The MTM office features a ceiling with a blue-sky-and-clouds motif. It is the flexible Barrilux ceiling, not a wall panel, that creates this open-to-the-sky effect. It can be especially effective in rooms with little natural light or where the ceiling is intended to be the main feature of the design.

Using Biophilic Design in a Practical Way

Start with one strong idea: a botanical panel behind reception, an illuminated divider in a spa, or a sky-inspired ceiling in a meeting area. The key is to balance a striking detail with the practical needs of the space.
