The Nature Loving List

“There is no better designer than nature.”

– Alexander McQueen

McQueen was right. When the allure of the natural world is brought to living and work spaces, it can be likened to an art form. It’s a quest to bring the outdoors in, to craft sanctuaries that breathe tranquillity and echo the whispers of rustling leaves. If you are crafting a space for nature lovers, weaving in a design style without compromising on the rawness of nature-inspired elements is essential. In this product spotlight, Love That Design has handpicked some of the most thoughtful and masterfully crafted products that can help you achieve that effortlessly.

An ode to nature’s past, present and future.

Jaipur Rugs brings exquisite handcrafted rugs made in India that intertwine past, present, and future. The collection comes in nature-inspired raw colours that flawlessly marry vintage style and contemporary design. Its resilient Afghan wool and delicate silk, crafted through generations of enduring harsh terrain, embodies tradition. Hand-knotted on ancient tools, it bears a legacy of resilience and cultural adornment. Choose from over 70 options with earthy greens, rustic browns, and ethereal blues, where each rug is more pleasing than the other. 

Mimicking the metamorphosis of nature.

The Reysipur® Compact Laminates range offers 33 ultra-design options to craft spaces that can feel alive with endless possibilities. It works like clay to mould furniture for alfresco settings like café terraces or urban parks, and it can also translate to weather-resilient designs that work wonderfully for interior spaces, seamlessly intertwining indoor-outdoor aesthetics. Take your pick from  FA’s satin eggshell allure, ROCHE’s textured depth evoking natural elements, or LINIMAT’s contemporary wood-inspired finish.

A b(l)ackdrop that makes everything come alive.

Wilsonart has crafted a stunning high-pressure laminate surface that can work wonderfully in contrast with lush green or blue elements to evoke depth in a space. Its Traceless ™ technology offers fingerprint resistance to maintain the versatile allure of its jet-black solid colour. Ideal for showcasing intricate leaf motifs or organic patterns, one can bring the tranquillity of nature into a space while maintaining its elegance.

Like the veins of a leaf.

This veined-pattern surfacing with metallic accents from the Spanish brand Cosentino brings the charm of Victorian and Parisian spaces indoors. Bring forth emblematic natural stone-inspired aesthetics with golden veins like the majestic flowing lava on volcanic soil or the flickering of a warmth-giving fire. Or choose from cooler options that mimic a desert lit by silver moonlight or the starry night sky to elevate a space. With six magnificent designs, embrace the poetry of these surfaces, where timeless elegance meets the enigmatic charm of the natural world.

Beyond natural wood.

The TIMBER collection offers the charm and beauty of natural wood without its drawbacks. Echoing the grandeur of Sweden’s towering pines and the timeless elegance of Lebanon’s cedars, this hyper-realistic sintered stone embodies the knots and grains of authentic wood with breathtaking precision. It looks as stunning as natural wood but requires zero maintenance or treatment to enhance its performance. Delve into three finishes that completely justify nature as their muse.

Plucked from the heart of woodlands.

Provence Nuwood’s warm, rustic tones offer a perfect backdrop for nature-inspired themes, blending with botanical motifs, earthy colour palettes, and organic textures. Its solid surface serves as a unifying element. It can be applied to countertops, tabletops, walls, etc., to capitalise on the charm of the woodlands in different spaces. Akin to the European-aged oak, this natural stone surface, available in three sizes, is enduring and visually striking.
