It is no longer a secret that a trip to nature can work wonders. As a lightning-like mood enhancer, we instantly feel more relaxed and alive; after all, nature has served us as a retreat to gather strength since time immemorial. The new coffee table book Eco Materials shows how we can bring this calming energy from outdoors indoors: with the help of a wide variety of eco-materials, a feel-good atmosphere à la Mother Nature can easily be recreated within our own four walls. Cork, bamboo and the like create a restrained aesthetic whose harmonious effect we won’t want to miss in the future.
