What we love about significant industry events is seeing and feeling the newest products on the market. Finding the best products for our innovative health, Wellness, and sustainability projects is paramount to Wellness Architecture. We are sharing some interesting finds we saw at IDS 2023.
1. ByNature
Nature has been shown to improve wellness, happiness, health, and productivity, yet despite spending 85% of our time indoors, more nature still needs to be in many living spaces. This is where Biophilic Design comes in and why ByNature is our top wellness product at IDS this year. ByNature believes that any space can be transformed into a healthy environment and aims to bring nature into people’s lives by creating an enjoyable, rejuvenating experience for everyone. As Wellness Architects, we love that they work with partners to bring greenery to residential and commercial projects in unique and innovative ways.

4. Organoids
Organoid is a company that specializes in bringing nature into the interior with their natural Organoid surfaces. Their impressive designs make rooms come alive with natural aesthetics that can be seen, felt, and even smelled. Their natural surfaces create an enjoyable atmosphere that supports health by reducing stress, lightening the mood, and increasing concentration. By showcasing the positive effects of nature, Organoid aims to make biophilic design accessible for interior design. Their natural surfaces are unique worldwide for their naturalness and authenticity, making it possible to experience the natural raw materials with the senses. The surface is untreated, retaining all appearance, scent, and feel properties. Biophilia, the human need for nature, is at the core of Organoid’s philosophy. The more people are in a natural environment, the more benefits they feel in everyday life. Organoid’s raw materials allow people to experience nature indoors, where they spend most of their time, improving their well-being and physical and mental health.
5. Bunn Coffee Table by Krisette Santamaria
This last one is more on the sustainable/art side, but it’s a fun one we want to highlight to show the innovative thinking happening in our industry. The Bunn Coffee Table uses the humble coffee bean to interrogate the lifecycle of everyday experiences and their by-products. Here, Krisette repurposes and transforms used coffee grounds from a daily mundanity and waste material into the centrepiece of our living spaces. The work evokes strength and coherence from every angle, offering a natural, harmonious feel inspired by the promise of the sustainability ethos as part and parcel of our future aesthetic. Imagine if this is what we can do with coffee. What are the possibilities with all materials in the future.
