The future is organic

People’s fascination with natural forms is not a new phenomenon. Architects and designers have always been inspired by nature. Whether simple organic, or biomorphous forms that resemble cell or plant structure, natural forms are becoming more and more popular in contemporary design. The naturally curved shapes are both appealing and harmonious. An early example and one that still appeals to people across the world is Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It is no surprise that such curved shapes are now finding their way into contemporary architectural projects and yacht interiors. Deutsche Werkstätten have the skills and engineering competence required to recreate these aesthetic surfaces in large scale interior spaces. A recently completed yacht interior is a good example of how a carefully engineered surface with effective lighting can create the desired porous structure and, in this case, resemble a sparkling grotto. The production requires state-of-the-art engineering technologies that provide maximum stability with the minimum use of materials.
