At this year’s\u00a0Stockholm Furniture Fair<\/a>, a\u00a0team of 18 Russian individual designers and collectives\u00a0presented 20 new products reconnecting city dwellers with nature. These items\u00a0were designed\u00a0for the\u00a0project Naturalist<\/strong>, which set\u00a0a task to focus on functional objects that would allow feeling connected to nature in a standard city apartment, without major changes in both interior planning and city lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Daily communication with nature and feeling connected to the natural rhythms are important components of both physical and emotional health and well-being. Participants of the\u00a0Naturalist project were exploring the potential of natural materials, studying the\u00a0urban life of plants and birds, reflecting on the natural aesthetics and our perception of nature.<\/p>\n

As a result of this research they created a number of functional objects that rethink growing plants at home,\u00a0allowing us to present and structure natural treasures collections and feel connected to the\u00a0cycles of nature. The range of products includes small furniture items, lights and accessories in such natural materials as birch bark, wicker, ceramics, porcelain, sandstone and marble, as well as\u00a0textiles capturing the nature in hyper-realist prints with 3D effect, photo-chromic screens and\u00a0a bird feeder with an integrated speaker enhancing the sound of birds’ songs.<\/p>\n
