Inspired By Nature

Anyone who's witnessed the otherworldly Northern Lights, studied the intricate details of a peacock's plumage, or peeled a simple yellow banana can tell you that no one designs quite like Mother Nature. Sometimes organic and imperfect in form, other times impossibly meticulous and symmetrical, nature provides an endless supply of inspiration, and these designs prove it.

  • What types of natural materials are commonly used in nature-inspired lighting fixtures?

      • Organic chandeliers, sconces, and pendants crafted from sustainable, eco-friendly, and ethically sourced natural materials are characterized by their unique organic shapes, earthy textures, and nature-inspired designs. Common materials include reclaimed wood, bamboo, driftwood, stone, shells, and other natural elements that provide an airy, coastal, or rustic aesthetic when incorporated mindfully into lighting design. Some signature elements include the use of varied grains, veins and hues found in materials like granite, marble, limestone, and wood to reflect light beautifully and evoke the natural world. The handmade, artisanal craftsmanship utilizes upcycled, recycled, and biodegradable components to create one-of-a-kind, custom organic fixtures with an earthy elegance and natural sophistication. These unique bespoke lighting pieces make conscious, sustainable statements while providing an eco-chic or eco-luxury aesthetic with natural purity and ambiance well-suited to green living spaces, eco-conscious interior design, and sustainable home decor.

  • How do nature-inspired lighting fixtures bring a sense of the outdoors into a home?

      • Nature-inspired lighting fixtures bring elements of the natural world indoors through their design elements. Fixtures shaped like leaves, branches, or other natural forms use organic silhouettes to visually transport the homeowner outside. Lighting made with materials like wood, stone, or glass invoke the textures of nature. Color choices like warm whites recreate the soft glow of daylight. Together, these natural attributes create a calming, restorative atmosphere that reduces stress.

  • Are there any specific bulb types that complement the natural elements in these fixtures?

      • For natural element fixtures, LED bulbs are an excellent choice. LEDs produce light similar to natural sunlight, with a warm color temperature between 2700-3000K to complement wood, stone and other organic materials. Their energy efficiency is also suitable for outdoor use. Dimmable LEDs give flexibility to set just the right ambiance.

  • Can nature-inspired lighting be used in both traditional and modern spaces?

      • Yes, nature-inspired lighting can be used effectively in both traditional and modern spaces. Lighting that emulates natural light sources like candlelight, firelight, or sunlight creates a warm, organic ambience suitable for any decor style. In traditional settings, sconces mimicking tree branches or wallwashers with leaf patterns introduce natural textures. Modern spaces leverage the same principles with track lights resembling veins of quartz or pendants resembling floating orbs. Nature's calming, diffused lighting lifts any interior and connects us to our innate response to the cycles of day and night. Proper placement and dimming options integrate the lighting seamlessly into the overall design.

  • Are there any nature-inspired lighting fixtures that feature sustainable or recycled materials?

      • Yes, there are several nature-inspired lighting fixtures that use sustainable or recycled materials. For example, some fixtures are made from recycled aluminum, glass, or wood to reduce environmental impact. Bamboo is a popular sustainable material used in modern pendants, lamps, and sconces that mimic the texture of leaves or branches. Fixtures made from materials like sea grass or reclaimed driftwood also draw inspiration from natural forms. Ensuring recycled content or renewable sources helps make nature-themed lighting more eco-friendly.
