From biophilic design to plant parenting, there are plenty of ways to connect to nature indoors – something people have been doing even more of in the pandemic. BloomingTables is tapping into this desire with a range of ‘living’ furniture, combining functionality and stress relief.

Houseplants are all the rage – but it’s not just Insta-ready backdrops that people are after. They’re also looking for ways to connect with nature, and nurturing a cactus or fern is one way they’re going about this. So, how can brands help cultivate green fingers and a sustainable mindset?

Louis Vuitton has partnered with Cadogan and SUGi on a conservation project that will seek to rewild parts of London's Chelsea neighbourhood. The initiative hopes to promote moments of respite while demonstrating environmentally conscious collaboration between landowners and businesses.
