Biomorphic Surrealism

“Biophilic design can reduce stress, improve cognitive function and creativity, improve our well-being and expedite healing… A space with good Biomorphic Forms & Patterns feels interesting and comfortable, possibly captivating, contemplative or even absorptive… While our brain knows that biomorphic forms and patterns are not living things, we may describe them as symbolic representations of life...”

Bold, verdant green gives the rug a breath of life and heightens its surrealistic expression of the natural environment.
