Furniture Development

Wishbone Chair By Hans Wegner 1949

Big Lounge Sofa By Steelcase Turnstone Campfire Collection

Furniture selection of natural-looking finishes on tables, chairs, and lighting. All materials are to be lightweight, modular, produced sustainably, and stain-resistant. Furniture pieces manufacturers should provide customizable options for upholstery fabric. The color selection of fabric is predominantly solid with some texture, and any patterned fabric is kept minimal.

Lighting Development

Mushloom Light Pendant By Danielle Trofe

Lighting selection of biophilic finishes on fixtures like pendants, chandeliers, and floor lamps—unique designs made out of natural materials that fit the cradle to cradle philosophy and certifications. The manufacturer should be a lighting designer that can customize or re-design pieces to fit the project’s concept. Color selections for lighting are in the neutral spectrum of the color palette. The addition of organic elements to lighting is preferable.
