Biophilic Design: returning to nature in a modern world
In an increasingly digitized world, there is a growing need for peace, balance and connection with nature. This need is at the heart of biophilic design, an approach that brings the natural world back into our interiors - with tangible effect on well-being, creativity and even productivity.
What is Biophilic Design?
The word biophilic is derived from Greek: bio (life) and philia (love). Biophilic design is all about incorporating natural elements into our living and working spaces. Not as a decorative extra, but as an essential part of an environment that feels like an extension of nature.
Consider:
- Organic shapes and textures
- Natural materials such as wood, wool or felt
- Indirect daylight and soft shadows
- Green plant walls or natural color palettes
- Sensory elements such as smell, acoustics and temperature
Why biophilic design works
More and more scientific studies show that environments with natural features:
- Reduce stress
- Increase concentration
- Stimulating creativity
- Accelerate recovery after illness
- And even positively influence buying behavior in retail and hospitality environments
So a wall with natural textures is not an aesthetic extra, but a form of quiet luxury that has measurable impact.

How Maeven Art connects to Biophilic Design
At Maeven Art, we believe that a space is more than aesthetics. It is an extension of your inner world - and nature plays a key role in it.
Our acoustic design panels are:
✅ Made of recycled PET felt - a material that is soft to the touch, cushioning and provides visual warmth
✅ Inspired by natural rhythms - our (3D) panels follow organic patterns that resemble bark, sand dunes or mountain formations
✅ Flexible use - whether you choose wall-filling design or a painting-like application
This is how we combine functionality, beauty and nature experience into one powerful design statement.

How do you apply biophilic design to your interiors?
1. Choose natural materials
Felt, wood, linen and ceramics breathe tranquility. Combine them in textures and layers.
2. Work with greenery
Real plants add oxygen and life to your space. No green thumb? Artificial plants or moss walls work, too.
3. Play with light
Let daylight in and choose indirect lighting. Use light shades as a canvas.
4. Bring acoustic peace
Sound is often the invisible stressor in interiors. Acoustic panels capture it - and enhance the sensory experience.
5. Choose a focal wall or natural eye-catcher
For example, a Maeven Art panel in warm earth tones or a 3D painting as acoustic art.
