Snow in March is a tradition in Seattle. So happy the Mountains are getting dumped on.

Enjoy the beauty and stay safe.

high point market reflections // biophilic design

One thing we love about Market is being exposed to new ideas that strengthens our design skills as a showroom and as a resource for interior designers. Today we learned about neuroaesthetics and biophilic design in a talk given by Mike Peterson, and our minds just lit up! Neuroaesthetics is the science of how beauty in our environments has measurable benefits and helps our mental health, and biophilic design is the practice of using nature in design as a tool that improves health. We are wired in our DNA to prefer natural settings, therefore using natural texture, color, vistas and shapes resonates with our humanity.

“Our brains and bodies are always sensing and interpreting the world around us. And we know that the design of spaces impacts our biology. The opportunity to use this knowledge, to design and create intentional spaces that support our health and wellbeing–that is the future of design.” Susan Magsamen

The Verellen showroom has used these principals in how they have designed their showroom experience.

The fun is about to begin! High Point Market is a fast-paced time of seeing new lines and releases, connecting with our makers, and building new relationships. And it begins tomorrow! Renate and our team are ready to hit the ground running. We will post our schedule daily, so please let us know if there are any particular pieces you would like us to review in person for projects you have in the works.
