Urban Jungle

In the city, nature may be hard to come by. But in the office—where people sometimes long for a touch of nature as a ‘boost’—it is increasingly making its way in, in the form of biophilic materials, colours and, of course, the occasional tropical houseplant.

It may sound incredible, but it all adds up. Take a selection of green tones—for walls, carpets, curtains or seat cushions—and combine them with wooden surfaces, clay or sand hues, and the effect promised by colour theory comes to life: The interior evokes a sense of clarity, freshness, openness and earthiness.

But beware: The right balance is crucial. Add contrasting elements made of hard, cooler, inorganic surfaces to keep the space from losing its sense of place.

How do you harmoniously integrate electrical installations into your nature-inspired interior? Choose your desired functional inserts—such as light switches, socket outlets, interior door stations or Smart Home applications—from the Gira System 55 modular system and combine them with a Gira design line such as Gira Esprit glass. The elegant Gira Esprit cover frame (shown here in the colour umber glass) complements natural-looking surfaces just as well as metallic ones, terrazzo as well as wood, fine stoneware tiles as well as textiles.
