Biophilic Design
Derived from the word Biophilia which literally means a love of life. It stems from the Greek words for Life (Bios) and Love (Philia).
Recent research highlights the significance of biophilic design in creating workplaces that engage and inspire employees.
This concept is rooted in the natural connection humans have with nature, which is why many modern office spaces incorporate elements like plants, natural light, and green spaces to enhance employee well-being and productivity.
Plants: A Key Element of Biophilic Design
While biophilic design encompasses various elements that bring the natural world into built environments—such as natural light, organic materials, and views of nature—plants are one of the most powerful and versatile components.
Why You Should Include Plants in Your Design
Incorporating plants into your design does more than just make a space look beautiful. Here are a few key reasons why plants should be an integral part of any biophilic space:
1. Improved Wellbeing and Productivity
Studies show that spaces with plants reduce stress, improve mood, and increase productivity. Whether in an office, restaurant, or retail environment, the presence of greenery has a positive impact on those who inhabit the space.
2. Air Quality and Acoustics
Plants naturally purify the air by absorbing pollutants and increasing humidity, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. Larger plants or green walls can even help absorb sound, making the space quieter and more pleasant.
3. Connection to Nature
Humans have an innate need to connect with nature—a concept known as biophilia. Plants fulfill this need in an indoor environment, providing a visual and sensory link to the natural world, which helps reduce anxiety and create a sense of calm.
How Plants Enhance Furniture and Space
Planters are an excellent way of creating privacy or dividing a workspace without using high or permanent walls, allowing for better airflow and utilisation of natural light. Adding plants has been proven to improve productivity as well as making your space aesthetically pleasing. We don't just offer standalone planters but can integrate them into our banquette seating.
When plants are thoughtfully integrated into furniture, like in-built planters in desks, shelves, or seating areas, they do more than simply fill a corner with greenery. They can completely transform how a piece of furniture or a space feels.
Accentuate Design Elements
Plants can draw attention to key pieces of furniture, highlight architectural features, and soften harsh lines. Whether placed within a planter or arranged on a shelf, greenery adds depth and texture that complements furniture design.
Create Visual Harmony
Combining natural materials in furniture, like wood or stone, with plants creates a cohesive, organic aesthetic. This seamless blending of furniture and nature enhances the overall sense of balance and tranquility in a room.
Space Division and Flow
Plants can be used to define spaces without the need for physical barriers. For example, a row of planters incorporated into furniture can subtly divide workspaces or seating areas while maintaining an open, airy feel.
To ensure your JDD Furniture looks its best and maintains its quality, it’s essential to plant it up correctly.
Benholm Group have the skills and expertise to bring your furniture to life. They use high-quality waterproof liners to protect your furniture, and carefully select beautiful, thriving plants that will enhance your space. They also offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your plants looking

Comprehensive Planting Services
Benholm Group offer a comprehensive range of services that go beyond just providing plants for your in-built planters.
Here’s a look at what they can do for you:
Cabinet Toppers
Cabinet top planting comes in many different shapes and sizes from stand-alone troughs and bowls, to completely bespoke made plant boxes to fit your cabinets. They can be used to brighten up lockers, filing cabinets or printing stations; a great way to add greenery to an office with limited floorspace.
When it comes to the plants for these units, the possibilities really are endless. Whether you are after tall jungle planting, a neat single species, or a luscious mix of trailing plants, Benholm can create the look you would like.
Open Grid Shelving
Grid shelving offers flexibility to workspaces providing the right mix of private and shared space. It allows for the simple and attractive division of space into zones for specific working purposes and social distancing without the cost of building walls.
Grid shelving can be customised to include gorgeous, draped greenery, plants, and moss panels. The lighting and storage options available with this type of shelving can create a highly attractive visual and acoustic barrier. Grid shelving also delivers levels of privacy between different working zones whilst maintaining a connection with the whole space.

Excellent service from start to finish I needed an artificial plant/flowers arrangement for two planters I had bought for my new office and didn't know where to start. Once I sent my initial online query to Benholm on a Sunday night, it became easy. Lesley replied before 9am on the Monday, we exchanged a few emails where she took time to send me pictures she took of certain flowers, then I called for a 2 min chat. By 10.30am I had sent my order form to her and she said she'd do her best to get it delivered by Xmas. On Fri 15th Dec, Tony delivered and arranged the display, finishing it off with bark and took time and care to ensure it looked great & he was thorough in cleaning up afterwards. It was a pleasure dealing with Benholm and if every company I deal with were like this, life would be a lot easier!!
