Background
Invite Nature Inside. Increasing urbanisation has led to densely populated cities, where residents spend more time indoors. The result is sensory deprivation, which prevents us from thriving, because our evolutionary development ties us closely to nature.
Artificial to Natural
Industrial designer Joonas Riisalu invites nature inside with his natural window shade, which acts as a screen but also invites the natural movements of the light inside. From a self-watering pot, plants climb up a stand that also reflects the sunlight, so that it is possible to follow both the plant’s growth and the natural circadian rhythm from inside the living room or the office.
