Biophilia & Biomes

Omdat mensen er mentaal baat bij hebben omringd te zijn door de natuur, evolueren de ruimtes die we ontwerpen. Extremis is begonnen als een buitenmerk, maar we willen de grens tussen binnen en buiten doorbreken om dit inzicht op te nemen. We willen dat onze producten worden gepresenteerd in leefbare, door de natuur geïnspireerde ruimtes. Het is duidelijk dat je moet kunnen ademen terwijl je rond een hulpmiddel zit voor saamhorigheid — dit is misschien wel het belangrijkste biofiele principe —, dus houd rekening met het aanbevolen gebied voor elk stuk. Lees over de Biophilic Design Principles.

What are Togetherness Biomes?

The biophilic tool for showroom planning

Biomes are the large vegetation zones of the earth. Land is divided according to its flora: the Mediterranean biome, the Desert biome, the Tundra biome, and so on. Each biome undeniably evokes a certain atmosphere. We drew on them to design color palettes and product settings. Not only to make the decision process easier and quicker, but above all, to add natural elements and human spontaneity to the setting.

We call them ‘Togetherness Biomes'. Discover all four of them below.
From now on, you can avoid the decision paralysis when choosing the color of each cushion, and instead refer to the biome.
