Recycled and reclaimed materials are taking center stage, moving beyond simple reuse and embracing innovative transformations. Plastic is being reborn as stylish terrazzo, discarded wood finds new life as intricate parquet, and industrial waste is being creatively repurposed. This shift emphasizes resourcefulness and circularity, minimizing environmental impact while offering unique design possibilities. Natural materials are also gaining popularity, with an emphasis on responsible sourcing and biodegradable options like bamboo, cork, and seaweed. These materials not only contribute to a healthier planet but also bring warmth and texture to interiors.
