[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jonghwa] This summer, there is a growing demand among those who want to create vibrant indoor interiors inspired by nature. As the consecutive heatwaves and the prolonged COVID-19 situation have increased the time spent indoors, more consumers are seeking to regain the satisfaction of being in nature. Accordingly, during the hot summer, 'Biophilic Interior' that allows one to feel lively nature even indoors is attracting attention.

'Biophilic Interior' is a compound word combining bio, meaning life and nature, and philia, a Greek word meaning love. It refers to an interior trend that utilizes natural materials such as wood, stone, sunlight, or textures and patterns of nature like daejari (woven bamboo mats) and rattan. The advantage is that by bringing nature-friendly elements into everyday spaces, it creates a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.

The living and interior industry is reflecting consumers' desire for nature by releasing biophilic summer interior products using natural materials such as daejari and rattan accessories.

Rug Made of Natural Cooling Material 'Bamboo' Gifted by Nature

Total home styling brand Decoview is gaining popularity this summer season by introducing various summer interior accessories using nature-friendly daejari and rattan materials. In particular, 'daejari' is a natural cooling material that uses the inherent coolness of bamboo to make the hot summer sticky-free, cool, and comfortable, making it perfect as a summer interior item.

Decoview's popular product, the 'Premium Natural Daejari Summer Rug,' is made by carefully selecting bamboo stalks with excellent elasticity and straight grain, splitting them thinly to 2mm thickness, weaving them, boiling them at high temperature, and then applying Decoview's unique subtle and luxurious color. It is manufactured so that the thickness and spacing of the bamboo are consistent, and finished cleanly without splinters, allowing users to feel differentiated quality.

Also, the 'Natural Rattan Cushion Cover,' made of natural rattan material that adds a cool resort vibe, naturally preserves the rich texture unique to rattan and adds a natural sensibility. It is well-ventilated and does not stick to the skin, so it can be used with a comfortable touch all year round. In addition, Decoview offers various biophilic interior accessories made of natural materials such as natural rattan-style summer rugs, natural rattan mood lamps loosely woven with natural rattan, natural rattan vases, and natural bamboo picnic storage baskets.

Deep and Soft Forest Scent, 'Forest Diffuser'

Filling indoor spaces with subtle natural scents is also one way to create a biophilic interior. Glad Hotel & Resort has introduced the hotel's signature scent, 'Glad Forest Diffuser,' which allows you to feel the fresh scent of the forest.

The Glad Forest scent, which can be felt upon entering the hotel lobby, is a sophisticated blend of deep and soft forest aroma and refined jasmine fragrance, creating a neutral and luxurious scent that makes you feel as if you are in a forest.

The unique subtle scent of eucalyptus refreshes and invigorates, helping to relax and relieve stress. When paired with the included preserved eucalyptus sticks, it completes an excellent biophilic interior. The number of fiber sticks can be adjusted to control the desired scent intensity, allowing efficient use according to the characteristics of spaces such as living rooms, studies, and bathrooms.
