Biophilia can be defined as an inherent human desire to connect with the natural world and elements of Arteriors’ interior décor encourage this. Biophilic design isn’t just trendy from an aesthetic perspective – surrounding ourselves with nature has additional benefits elevating our mood and creating a holistic environment.
In residential design, a biophilic environment can encourage relaxation and a separation from bustling outside life. In an office space, benefits include increased productivity and creativity. In both instances, including elements of nature into the design of a room boosts overall physical and mental health.
Natural materials are the obvious addition and just one of the ways we can ensure we are benefitting from mother nature’s touch. Materials such as rattan, wicker, and various woods are great additions and can be used in furniture, lighting and accessory design. Season upon season we’ve seen more brands offering designs that integrate natural weaves and raffias, making it easier for designers and their clientele to create a grounded, organic décor scheme.
The positive influence on people is paired with the sustainable credentials of using these materials. Inherently biodegradable and regenerative, the resulting products are crafted with the future in mind.
Striving to further our connection with nature, our design team has endeavoured to include additional materials such as corn husk, coconut shell and abaca fibres that give a varied aesthetic but provide the same benefits. We’ve always wanted to ensure we honour the ingenuity of master artisans, where skills are passed down from generation to generation – particularly in places such as Southeast Asia, where the incredible artistry has inspired our collection of natural materials where we’ve weaved in inventive details (pun intended). Combining contemporary form with rich texture and traditional craftsmanship evokes a warm, welcoming aesthetic.
Another key element to consider is the colours used in a space – neutral tones, and earthy hues are grounding and provide an effective canvas to incorporate additional elements of biophilic design. Pops of green are also proven to reduce heart rate and promote calm whether selected as a key colour in furniture choice or across a statement wall.
Final additions make a world of difference, with planters and hanging baskets, dried flowers and fresh posies quite literally adding an element of the living natural world. More than aesthetic, plants and flowers work like gentle air purifiers moderating temperature, humidity and levels of toxins present to create a more pleasant living environment.
Key to a positive outlook and beneficial to health in all senses of the word, it’s no wonder designers are keeping this as a priority for residential, commercial and hospitality design. Each season, we want to make sure we’re creating products that work with, not against the environment and encourage biophilic living.

Celebrating 35 years of luxury design, Arteriors is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest collaboration collection with renowned American interior designer, Jay Jeffers. As part of the brand’s successful Guest Designer programme, Arteriors welcomes Jay back for a third collection. The range features 28 new furniture, lighting and accessory designs launched as part of their Autumn 2022 collection, debuted at Focus/22.
Jay’s collection prioritises versatility while embodying his “liveable luxury” approach to interior design. Influenced by mid-century décor, from designers including Carlos Scarpa, Franco Albini and Jena-Michel Frank, the collection embraces classic masculine elements including antique and polished brass and pairs them with etched glass and pierced metals.
“With each collaboration, I prioritise quality and craftsmanship. This third collection with Arteriors reflects the skill of their network of artisans that make each product come to life, a hallmark I wanted to celebrate as part for the 35th anniversary. Each piece is handcrafted and meant to feel collected over time. This new offering introduces lighting and accessories that are adaptable to different environments, whether it be a sprawling luxury resort or a compact apartment.” – Jay Jeffers, speaking on the collaboration.
The final result is a beautiful mix of sculptural silhouettes, vintage metal elements, and 20th century inspired design. Expanding on his past two collections, Jay and Arteriors developed new pieces across a variety of categories, including furniture, accessories and lighting created with signature Jay touches.
These design elements can be found throughout the collection, notably in the Trento Mirror, crafted with hand-formed brass, and the Holm Sconce, created with two separate layers of glass for a beautiful diffused light. The Carl Pendant blends smoked glass with pewter and multiple layers of glass for a fixture that can be shown long over a kitchen island or shortened for hallway or bedroom fixture. Finally, the handsome Cantu Cabinet boasts a rich ebony stain and tapered legs for a beautiful addition to an entryway or living space.
“We are thrilled to have Jay return as a guest designer. What better way to celebrate our 35th anniversary than with one of our longest-standing collaborators?” says Barb Fuller, Vice President of Marketing & Visual Merchandising for Arteriors. “Jay’s eye for designing entertaining spaces can be seen across his three collections for Arteriors, from accessories to seating and casegoods designed for comfortable and stylish gatherings at home. For this newest assortment, we worked together to expand on this theme with lighting that creates a warm ambiance and accessories that offer chic touches to interior spaces.”
Arteriors’ F22 collection offers interior designers an array of location-inspired design aesthetics, with influences from Monaco and Berlin, previewed as part of the showroom reset ahead of Focus/22. Informed by traditional techniques and use of materials from across the globe, intertwined with Arteriors’ statement flair, these collections are designed to create a timeless, contemporary scheme with accents that add visual interest and inspire awe.
The most traditionally luxurious of the two aesthetics brings the warmth and richness of colour of Monaco to life. Opulent and extravagant, this is a dream scheme that combines the crystal hues of the ever-blue sky and sea, with shades of golden yellows. The selection of furniture, lighting, accessories, and wall décor that make up the collection feature plenty of jewel tones, decadent marble detailing, and glamorous gilded-gold designs, with each piece epitomising grandeur. Indulge in sumptuous velvet seating, incorporate lavish lighting, and finish with accessories that complement the myriad of colour-rich tones.
A nod to mid-century design, the selection of products featured within the Berlin Bauhaus collection utilise strong lines and geometric accents to create a more contemporary look. Unique material choices run through the range of home furnishings with a particular focus on leather detailing on upholstered items, accessories and as part of lighting designs. The juxtaposition created by featuring a material ordinarily used to create a more traditional aesthetic but incorporated into furnishings with sculpted and soft design fashions a more contemporary look. An unexpected and distinctive material choice complementary to woods, metals and marbles, Arteriors designers predict leather pieces to be the next ‘it’ material t inspired modern interior schemes for seasons to come.
Pop into the showroom in Chelsea Harbour’s Design Centre to view the complete showroom transformation with new product across all categories, featuring items inspired by Monaco, Berlin and beyond.
Arteriors core collection of luxury furniture, lighting, wall décor and accessories incorporates products from a number of design aesthetics. A key trend that remains popular with interior designer customers for trade and residential projects alike is a tendency towards pieces that will help create and complement a monochrome scheme.
A timeless palette, monochrome décor palettes can highlight the art of duality, with each product created as a statement piece in its own right but with elements that allow it to co-exist and complement additional items within a room. This is a collection of items that are intended to work alongside one another and unify the space.
Bright white and pale cream tones pair with varying tones of greys and black as the core colour theme, where texture and tactility take centre stage – drawing the focus away from colour towards the materials used to create depth and interest in the room’s design. Tactile materials such as soft plush boucle, and luxurious velvets work particularly well to soften a monochrome space.
Visual interest can be added through the use of graphic, geometric lines whether seen in the design of Arteriors’ products or in additions such as wallpaper and rugs. By combining strong accents with soft, textured fabrics, marble detailing and rounded edges, a scheme can transform from feeling cold and stark to warm and inviting.
This collection from Arteriors creates a sense of understated glamour, with all focus placed on the expertise of design. The variety of items seamlessly blend in with one another and transcend seasonal trends layering perfectly into multiple settings and styles.
Arteriors’ exclusive collection is available to view online or at the UK showroom at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour.
The latest trend palette from the new collection at Arteriors is all about creating contemporary yet sublimely serene interiors. The key to this elegant décor scheme is incorporating an unpredictable combination of cool toned hues such as pale blues, marbled pastels and lighter jewel tones, and combine with striking modern silhouettes. A smattering of organic materials and shapes throughout will tie the décor together and provide a grounding effect.
To bring this luxurious look into residential or hospitality projects, integrate raw stone marble accents, jewel colours, sumptuous velvets and other luxurious materials to fashion the perfect foundation. Opt for accent details in glamorous golden finishes and brass – these are the perfect finishing touches for a scheme that is luxurious while still remaining warm and inviting.
Lighting should be extravagant: consider frosted glass detailing combined with ornate, intricate elements in both chandelier designs and sconces, and pair together to create an ambient glow through the home.
Intricate use of glass across lighting and accessories is inspired by the fluidity and the sleek reflections across a shimmering body of water. A balance between soothing and striking is created by using lithe hand-blown glass – organic in form and never-quite-perfect meaning each product is unique in its individual detailing.
Arteriors has embraced the perfection of imperfection and is striving to create an assortment of product that inspires the calm and collected throughout the Modern Serenity collection.
“The craftsmanship and cadence emanating from our studio is an extension of both the intelligence and the care of the artist’s hand” – Arteriors Design Team.

Arteriors is delighted to introduce its latest collaboration collection with renowned US interior designer, Celerie Kemble. The collection debuted at London Design Week as part of Arteriors’ Spring Summer 2022 launch. As part of the brand’s successful Guest Designer programme, the collection features a series of furniture, lighting and tabletop accessories, with pops of wonderful, whimsical colour and repeated use of natural materials.
“Great design is at the core of who we are, which is why we’ve tapped some of the most prolific interior designers with whom to collaborate as part of our guest designer program. Each designer brings a new perspective that marries their unique design philosophy with the Arteriors aesthetic” – Arteriors Design Team.
As Celerie’s second collection for Arteriors, the range is built upon a desire to blend a range of materials, texture, soft colour and different finishes to create a playful collection for spring.
Taking inspiration in both colour and material from nature, and particularly the warmer climates of the tropics, the range is filled with playfully textured ceramic vases and lamps, polished rattan tables, mirrors, trays, and other statement pieces, in natural hues and luxe materials that lend a traditional-meets-tropical allure. The palette incorporates muted hues, pale woods, and shell motifs to mimic sandy beaches, and pastel skylines of a springtime abroad.
Celerie Kemble on the collection:
“In most of my work, I’m trying to find ways to add levity and sweetness, each piece I have designed as part of the collection is very functional, but adds a note of whimsy to your décor. I believe that it is in the quirks that things become distinctive, that interiors become animated by life and nourished by their inhabitants.”
